The one time I was laid off I had to sign an NDA and a non-compete to get severance. I signed it because it was a decent severance package, and the company was going bankrupt and I figured there would not be any entity left that would care or try to enforce it.

I strongly disagree with non-competes for file and rank employees but a non-compete for someone that was laid off is just ridiculous.

Well don’t sign it then. When I had to sign it, I totally agreed with it. I signed the NDA and got my check.

I hope you start a company and are in a position to give severance to fired employees and not make them sign non-competes.
