Noncompete Clauses Increasingly Pop Up in Array of Jobs

That's a good point. The problem is applying noncompete clause to every employee of the company, regardless of their position.

I guess enforcing noncompete is just easier than NDA because it might be very hard, if not impossible, to prove disclosure. I understand noncompetes for executives, etc. People who could seriously harm their employer with their knowledge (client list, etc) if transferred to a competitor.

But yes, applying noncompete to every employee regardless of the position is a bit silly.

"People who could seriously harm their employer with their knowledge (client list, etc) if transferred to a competitor."

Why should the government protect companies from their competitors?
