Outlawed? No, and never, ever has been.
What a lot of companies attempt to do is put in anti-compete clauses in to the civil employment contract.
They are often unenforceable or if they are they are heavily time limited unless a large financial incentive is provided to balance the loss of earnings.
- MrDosu 11y agoExactly this, non competes are mostly only binding if there is adquate compensation involved. If your contract only says "Not allowed to work in the field for X month after leaving" and there is no compensation, it's toilet paper.
- erikb 11y agoWould you edit in which country you're referring, too?
- mattmanser 11y agoI'm from the UK, but it's the same for most countries. Moving companies in the same field is not illegal, it's called a career.
