I've never seen that. If you have, was there some list? It can be pretty hard to even define competitors, especially if your own businesses are far-reaching or fluid. I mean, if you work for GE, does that just mean you can't own stocks? Or a company like Google whose actual business is narrow but whose ambitions are unbounded? That would be pretty hard to defend.
- foobarqux 11y agoI have had competitors explicitly listed in employment agreements with catch-alls ("this is not an exhaustive list") with respect to non-competes. Indexing is fine.

- fapjacks 11y agoMy best friend worked for a company that forbade investing in competitors, but I'm not sure if there was a list.
