5 thoughts on “FTC proposes rule that would ban noncompete clauses

  1. Why would any company waste their time and money training someone who could walk across the street the minute training is over? If people don’t like the non-compete they can choose not to take the job in the first place.
    This is what we get when Washington is run by people who have never worked outside of government; also known as never worked an honest day in their life.

    1. How can a new federal law be enacted by Presidential dictat? Once upon a time the Constitution said federal laws had to be made by Congress; our elected representatives were expected to discuss and maybe agree upon a new law.

    2. Treat people correctly so they don’t want to walk across the street. It works both ways.

  2. As someone who has been on both sides of non compete agreements, this is welcome news. At one time, Indiana was very strict before it would enforce a non compete agreement,not amending them if they were not correctly drafted. Now, the courts have added what they call a blue pencil rule, allowing a judge to edit an unenforceable agreement to make it enforceable. Also, once upon a time, non competes were only enforced against top sales people, who had strong relations with customers and were well paid. A few years ago, our Cort of appeals enforced a non compete against a woman earning minimum wage. A outrageous result. Greed by employers killed the non competes. Good riddance to them. Good for employees, who will get treated better.
