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.

I’m not sure if I can let the interviewer know I’m not too strong with coding. I do want to take up the challenge, and also find out if the role would require extensive coding though. Any tips?

Hello everyone I worked as a house remodeler before I got Covid now I am handyman/maintenance/property manager I would like an idea of what people are charging

Clawback clause in current contract: been in role for over 2 yrs, it was an internal move that required relocation. Relocation was approved shortly after (over 2 yrs ago) but covid meant the actual move and start of my contract with new subsidiary was delayed, I was paid by the previous subsidiary meanwhile. I got small relocation package. Would internal move be subject to a buy-out/clawback clause if I leave now and if yes, is it time in role or time under new contract? Any experience? Thanks!
