A comment on How a Legal Journalist Got Fired for a Non-Compete. Parent comment
For example in France it's legal, but with conditions:
* it must be limited in time (e.g. usually max 2 years) and space (e.g. same city, not the whole country)
* if they want to "activate" the non-compete they have to pay you something like 30% of what you were making for the time they want to block you
* it shouldn't prevent you to get a job, meaning they can prevent you from going to the direct competitor but not block you for the whole industry
