I was under the impression that workers earning less than $151,164 annually usually don't have noncompetes anyway? Sounds like a lot of people will get bucketed into "senior executives" group. At least new noncompetes can't be created.
- kube-system 2y agoI've know places that pay 1/3 of that and have noncompetes. Although, someone in this type of a role can often get away with ignoring noncompetes as long as they're smart about how they exit.

- kube-system 2y agoI absolutely agree, but I make it a point to mention their limits of enforceability whenever I can because it is information worth spreading for those worried about one.
- no_wizard 2y agoNon competes are everywhere. Famous case with Prudential Security[0] where they had everyone sign non competes, that includes minimum wage workers, and they enforced them, which put an outsized strain on the minimum wage workers in particular. Its a harmful practice across the board.

- Animats 2y agoThat's the motivation behind this rule. About one in six food outlets were demanding non-compete terms in employment, to prevent their employees from quitting to work for higher-paying outlets.[1] (Not McD and Burger King; mostly the smaller ones.)
