The real question however is how much it would cost you in legal fees to defend yourself if the company tries to enforce the non-compete, even if the ultimate outcome is in your favour.
If you work in healthcare, be sure to leave a 1 star review on the employer's recruitment page if they have a non-compete agreement. Apparently state run agencies like the office of mental health recommend against using these non compete agreements.
I wish more people would simply REFUSE TO SIGN TO BEGIN WITH! I know it's hard when we're all just trying to feed our families but if only we as a society could "just say no." I recently turned down a contract for a job I REALLY wanted due to an outrageous non-compete. I asked them to better define the area, they refused, I asked to redline, they said it was non-negotiable, so I told them I wouldn't be moving forward with onboarding. Absolutely unfreaking real, companies these days

Ok let me give you my rundown... I am a pest control guy a d was fired on March 11th right before the lockdowns. And lost my unemployment because my old boss is a good actor as well as lier. So went 8months without work and finally found work a couple months ago at another pest control company in my small town. 10,000 POP But last month my old boss showed up at my work and went in yelling and wanting them to fire me cause they have a non compete agreement. My boss says to kick rocks. Today I got a certified letter. A seise and desist order with a settlement offer and more shit to sign. Oh and only 6mo left on the 3 year agreement to boot.
I signed a non compete agreement but it includes language about setting up a similar business within 1 mile of the current business and something about taking their clients. Is that a legal part of a non compete? Neither of these things involve trade secrets or being a superstar in the company..
