They were almost never enforceable when they were legal.
outside of higher level leadership they have never been worth the paper they are printed on. a non compete has never stopped a smart person from taking a job with a competitor.
I'm sure going forward they will tie it into 'Shop Rights.'
Eagerly awaiting the official communication from Dell that Non-Competes are not going to be enforced.
From the FTC ruling: Employers will be required to provide notice to workers other than senior executives who are bound by an existing noncompete that they will not be enforcing any noncompetes against them.
I expect that Dell will find another way to force some kind of restriction on us.
