Comment on FTC votes to ban non-compete agreements

Comments

It will take 4 months to be effective, and there will be lots of lawsuits and obstacles. We'll see what happens.

On a personal note I had the most insane experience moving from California to Colorado and being offered a most extreme non-compete clause by a local engineering company that had just hired a new CEO ... from California; I had to give them information about every project I had worked on in the past, would have to report whatever I did outside of work hours, and give them a blank card to patent either if they felt like it. The director who wanted to hire me said they never had that kind of non-compete, the new CEO --fresh from California-- had introduced it. I declined.
