Non-competes are being challenged and will be history soon and hopefully so will non-disperagement clauses. Those are just coercive anti-freedom practices.

I don’t know why Tostino’s reply to yours was flagged. This admin is literally backing away from defending against non competes just a few weeks ago[1]

What evidence is there, that this admin would be doing anything to push against or stop non competes?

You think that will happen with this administration?

There are certainly headwinds but it could be state laws too. If California passes something - that would be big. But in general culture heads in a certain direction and reactionaries are just a bump in the road or so I prefer to think.

What do you mean? Non-competes have been unenforceable in California for a long time and are entirely banned as of 2024.

I mean in general these types of restrictive laws but non-disperagement specifically. I did hear about the non-compete.

Ah that makes sense. It will be interesting to see how those play out.
