    I've signed a few. They really don't hold up for a sales rep job.

      Never signed one before but have had someone else sign one when I bought out the inventory of their hobby store. It was a 5 year agreement. Also made sure it was not their sole job ability since you can not really prevent someone from earning a reasonable living without undo hardships. Or at least I was told that.
      Like for instance it could be hard to have a model sign one. Well not hard to get her to sign, but to enforce it I mean.

        they dont mean shit to shinola

        especially if you are coming to a company with years of experience already

        gives the employer a feel good sense...but really it only makes the employee feel a little bit nervous of the employer..as it certainly doesnt hold a farts breath in court

          I've had to do it when I used to work for a venture capital/incubator firm. As if I was gonna start my own competing $100 million VC fund. Yeah... okay.... lmao. Joking aside, they required it of employees to prevent them from using skills they acquired at the job on behalf of competitors.

            Exactly. Most people don't really understand this though. In Canada, at least, you can't stop a person from making a living. You can stop them from stealing your ideas or business, but you can't stop them from using knowledge they obtain.

            Used to be a project manager for a team of programmers and support staff. Had to deal with NCA's through our legal department all the time. They're not worth the paper they're written on mostly.

              The whole idea is pretty ugly.

                restraint of trade, it's hard if not impossible to enforce.

                  I have always have to sign one. I guess it comes down to how much you could hurt someone with the info you pick up. But unless they are very targeted as to who and where exactly there are not worth the paper they are written on.

                    I've known folks to get sued over their non-compete. However they were also assholes about going on their ways. If you intend to do harm to your former employer, well then I can see an employer agressively pursuing a non-compete violation.
                    You deserve to make more money. I'll help you do that.

                        They don't hold up for shit ... especially in right to work states. I signed one for a company once and I live in AZ and it doesn't matter because Arizona is a right to work state. So, they can't really enforce it.

                        Their are some legal ramifications, they are better off getting you on trade secrets than a non-compete.
                        Vacares rules.
