| Non-competes are pretty unenforceable and a restraint of trade.
The most extreme I have seen are for only one year, not two. Even two would not be so long as to destroy a career. They usually only prevent you from working for a direct, active customer... not a competitor. I think this story is apocryphal. Tip: never indemnify an employer (which means you'll pay their legal bills to sue you) and always specify that the agreement follows the law in your location... not their HQ. Why should you bear the expenses of going somewhere else to try the case? They should have to go to your location. |
