Sumit Khanna has a blog post with the title, Why I Don't Sign Non-Competes:
[...] Over the course of the next fifteen years, I would be asked to sign non-competes several more times, always prior to employment. I've always refused, and until recently, I've never been denied a position because of that refusal.
A non-compete is a type of contract issued by an employer, typically part of the standard work agreement, job offer or non-disclosure agreement, which states that the employee agrees not to start a business that competes with their current company or to work for their company's competitors, for a set length of time (typically one year) after leaving or being terminated. If that sounds like an illegal contract, in the state of California, it is.
What are soylentils' experience with non-compete clauses?

So you sign them, and not give a fuck about the consequences. This is Klingon guile. Today is a good day to die. In Earth contract law, when you sign an illegal contract, all terms are null and void. Non-disclosure contracts are valid, however, non-compete contracts are null and void.
This is how White Earthian scum work around them: You cannot disclose professional details of an NDA, but you can use what you have learned to circumvent non-competes to use the knowledge you do have to exploit what you do know to use your knowledge when employed by someplace else.
White Earthian scum such as Apple tried and failed to circumvent this wholesale by colluding illegally with the Whites in charge of Damdung, Jewgle, Crapple, Hwahuawei, Ching-chong Ding-Dong.
But they failed.
This is why we voted for Donald Trump. When the cheap labor of your crappy foreign engineers and their wives in the cafeterias are discovered and blown the fuck out, Whites will take over in the engineering labs and their imported wives will be kicked out of being the cafeteria staff.
Nice try, shitbags. USA! USA! USA!

Holy shit, I just found a fat bottle of hooch in my fridge.
I'd like to dedicate this one to the Madames Le Pen, Frauke Petry, Viktor Orban, Donald Trump, Nigel Farage, Geert Wilders, and all others in the spirit.
This one goes out to restitution to the unlawful actions committed during the NATO bombings of Serbia. [youtube.com]

You voted for him because you want non-competes to be enforceable? Wow, that's weapons-grade stupidity.
It's liberal states like California that make non-competes unenforceable.
