Companies can always protect their commercial secrets with other things, like NDAs.
Oh fuck off you corporate cock gobbling stooge.
This is even worse than asking employees to show loyalty, it's forced servitude or you can't work in your field. Fuck that shit. Capitalism demands labor have the freedom to move. But then again I'm not shocked by Felix's dislike for actual capitalism.
Yeah imagine in a capitalist society where people sold their services to the highest bidder.
Came here to pretty much say the above.
If I’m not mistaken goddamn Jersey Mike’s had a non compete clause as if assembling a hoagie is some sort of trade secret.
Non compete clauses are extremely restricted in Mass, however I have signed them in various sales positions. Point is like Jerseys Mikes their business “secrets” aren’t that secret it’s stuff every competitor and every business does.
Lol. Why shouldn't labor be able to sell their product in a free market?
That was weak, too obvious. We expect better trolling out of you.
free market for me, not for thee
That's not a noncompete agreement. I assume you aren't permanently barred from working for a regulated entity but are barred for x months from your employment as a regulator. Otherwise the "regulated" will control the regulators by buying out the personnel bothering them.
It's a 12 month prohibition. But the interesting thing is the final rule essentially defines a non-compete agreement as something that prevents a worker from being employed by another person when the worker's first employment ends. It's actually super generic language. That's what lead to my thought, the state law isn't technically a non-compete under the typical understanding but it does seem to fit the definition under the final rule.
Why not, most “free trade “ agreements center on the repatriation of profits to facilitate labor arbitrage.
It's not that simple. If you start a company and hire talent they don't get to just take your idea and compete against you right away. That's bullchit. Thus the NCA was created.
What idea would that be?
It is that simple actually. Ideas are already protected by patents. Employees own their minds and the skills contained within.
Felix yearns for the world described in Max Barry's book, Jennifer Government. Everything is ultra privatized, you take the last name of your employer, and only people who can afford it can pay for the government to investigate stuff. And if you want protection, you can open a contract with The Police or the NRA (both private paramilitary groups).
