That sounds like a pretty big "nothing" to get out of it?

The trick is not to enforce the non-compete but to deter other companies from hiring because it's too much trouble.

It’d be interesting to see data on what happened to the number of non competes enforced before and after the new law. That sounds like a pretty big disincentive to enforce them.
