I just started a new job. During the negotiation, they wanted to include a non-conpete that basically covered the entire state. I pointed out the hypocrisy that are recruiting me from a competing company, and if they wanted me they would not include a non-compete. They conceded that. I am probably one of the few people in my company not bound by this non compete. I am glad that this new ruling bans future non-competes. I don't want to work with people who are only there because they have to be there.

Not to mention new businesses who can't get started because established ones have locked up all of the Labor. It's just another barrier to entry of new business. I can see certain talented people who are hired based on their specific skills and personality. But a fungible employee or worker should not be subject to no compete clauses. I think the FTC is right on this one.

Much of the business community sees Khan as an obstacle that needs to be removed. Here she demonstrates that she understands the concerns, explicates the careful consideration of the nuances, and details an example of the approach that she takes at the FTC, which requires looking at the outcome- a functioning market- rather than taking sides with buyers or sellers.

I am in agreement. Non-compete is similar to monopolizing talents in one company. A company will be too big to care and too big to fail, which will lead to executives misbehave with monetary. American tax payers end up paying. We could use more businesses and new ideas. Competition is always good for consumers and economy. A lake is stale limiting water, river is always flowing bring in freshness.

I've never signed a non-compete agreement. They never fired me, and 18 month later, I left that job and started my own junk removal businesses in florida. I was working as a W2 employee, but the employer was paying me as 1099 independent contractor. Today, I received a text message from this former employer saying that I violated the non-compete agreement and he is going to sue me if I don't close my new business. While I was working for that company, I was making $180 a day. Most of the time, I worked from 9 to 14 hours a day without benefits and no overtime pay Does anyone in here know if this becomes a legal issue or not?
