        "Nom-compete is modern day slavery" so true! You shouldn't be forced to sign non-compete unless trade secrets are involved or top management

        Modern day slavery? Let's rethink your words there. Maybe say "non competes are shitty and kind of unethical"

        What else is "slavery" but owing someone's ability to work? If you can only work for one employer, and not for anyone else, what is that?

        Then don't sign the god damn thing. They totally suck, but from my reading of history, most slaves were unable to opt out of their job

        I think you need to be more empathetic, we've all been in positions where we would do anything, sign anything in order to get a good job.

        This is an issue that really doesn't matter who is in the White House. Because capitalism exploits workers. Time to start eating your bosses

        @Fahrenthold In California non-compete agreements are unenforceable for most employees. Any state could outlaw them if they wanted.

        All non compete clauses should become null and void if the employee is terminated for any reason or their salary is cut.

        I honestly don't think *everyone* who supports "right to work" knows what it means. The phrase is kind of misleading.

        TBH federal regulations seriously needed to rein in non-compete clause contracts. Unfortunately, won't happen under Trump / GOP congress.
