News from the US Senate that doesn't make me want to make turtle soup out of Mitch McConnell? Will wonders never cease?
Aside from that snarky comment, what else can be said other than an emphatic GOOD. I'd love for a poison-pill option to be included in any bills that stipulate that "Sure, you can make people sign noncompete agreements... but you have to pay them their salary until that agreement lapses. If their knowledge is so valuable, surely you don't mind paying them for 2-5 years, right? No? Then no noncompete agreement; fuck off."
If memory serves, my native Texas' stance on non-competes was that they were not worth the paper they were printed on. Whatever company could get you to sign one, but if they tried to enforce it afterwards, they would be laughed out of court. Problem was that a lot of people did not know this and, should they take someone to court who can't afford it, well...
