Are employers still requiring employees to sign non compete clauses? I know the FTC put an end to those but with the Chevron doctrine being revoked right now, what is the guidance right now? What are employers doing? Of course I am referring to post-employment non-compete clauses that prevent you from working for competitors. I don’t know which bowl to ask this question at so if you could suggest a bowl that could give me an accurate answer, I’d appreciate it. Thanks

Honestly, those noncompetes cannot really be enforced. Almost every state is at will employment and nothing can stop you from going to a competitor. I believe those noncompetes are just there to ensure you are not giving proprietary information away to competitors. But also, most employees don’t work at a high enough level to have access to that kind of proprietary information. I’ve seen people sign these “noncompetes” and then go work for competitors. You have nothing to worry about.

It depends. It varies from industry to industry and job to job. I would suggest that if you are asked to sign such a document, you have a lawyer look at it so that they can determine what your options are if you choose to leave. Without reading the contract, it’s hard for me to properly advise on a specific situation. But definitely invest in getting the legal advice.

So I accepted an offer back in mid March but I didn’t negotiate it up and now I’m regretting it, because apparently you’re supposed to. I got a much higher salary than expected and a sign on bonus, and it’s been a while since I accepted the offer, and the start date is later this year…. Is it too late to ask for a bit more though? If not, how do I go about it?

HR pros - I have a question for you. I got disappointing news that I didn’t get either of the roles I applied for. I was shocked because the interviews went really well and my experience was in line, if not on the higher end of requirements. I was told that it was my salary and job title expectation. I’d be ok with that if they hadn’t flown my ass out there to meet with everyone. They knew my salary and position expectations before inviting me to the interview. Should I buy it?

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…
