Somebody downthread made what I thought was a joke about Jimmy John's requiring employees to sign non compete agreements. Apparently it wasn't a joke: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-jimmyjohns-settlement-idUSKBN13W2JA https://www.reuters.com/article/us-jimmyjohns-settlement-idU... >The Jimmy John’s agreement prohibited employees during their employment and for two years afterward from working at any other business that sells “submarine, hero-type, deli-style, pita, and/or wrapped or rolled sandwiches” within 2 miles of any Jimmy John’s shop in the United States This is absolutely absurd. I worked on JJ's when I was in college. I honestly had no idea that this was a thing. These companies know that these contracts are almost certainly unenforceable, but they also know that their employees won't have the money to fight them. No acceptable.
