- hrktb 13y agoHe's probably not in a real "non-compete" and more likely is still an employee getting paid for a year to do nothing.
- cmelbye 13y agoIt's probably more along the lines of an agreement that he'll get a huge payout if he doesn't work at a competitor for a year. He could certainly go and work for another company right now (there's no legal way to prevent him from doing that, as you pointed out), but he'd lose out on part of his severance pay.
- kmfrk 13y agoConan O'Brien worked in Los Angeles, when he left The Tonight Show and NBC, and he had a non-compete, until he started his gig with TBS, so I'm sure it's not as clear-cut.
