Ask HN: Can Parag Agrawal (Ex-CEO Twitter) Join Meta – No Competitive Agreement?

from the ask-hn dept.

Recently, we heard news Parag Agrawal, Ex-CEO of Twitter joining Meta.

So, I was curious to know, whether Twitter never had Competitive protection agreement from their employees where they can not launch or join any company which are direct or indirect competitor to their product.

trying to invoke a noncompete after firing someone sounds exceedingly unenforceable. (IANAL)

You can be fired from the company for breaching any employment agreement or any policy. But That doesn't mean - noncompete agreement cannot be forced.

Else, all employees will find a way to get fired from the company and avoid noncompete agreement.

oh! you mean any employee from Facebook or Google can join any Competitive company? Since these companies are registered in CA.

Interim CEO for less than a year. Why do FB want him?
