I don't know about Ching Chong land, but most EU countries allow non-competes as long as they are paid, which is how it should be.

Non-competes are essential if you want to do pretty routine things like bring a new doctor into a practice with a strong presence in a geographical area. The practice may front this person relocation costs, etc. Why should they be out because this ((doctor)) decides in 18 months he should strike it out on his own?

Coercive noncompetes suck, and they shouldn't be the rule rather than the exception--as they've come to be for some low-level people in the tech business--but businesses expend a lot of money bringing people into the fold and they shouldn't just be able to turn around and compete with lowered barriers.

Question pertaining to Chevron vs Natural Resources Defense Council...

Why does an unelected group of 5 people make this "rule" that affects millions of people? Shouldn't Congress make a law defining it? Seems insane some 3 letter agency decides this vs an act of Congress. This should be in the hands of the people.

I have no idea what precise statutory language they are citing for this, but it wouldn't need to be a whole lot, if they have any leg to stand on the issue would seem to be if it is arbitrary and capricious to except certain senior executives

agreed.

I don't think the Congress has passed a budget per the Constitutional process since maybe Obama was POTUS. The Senate has devolved from the de facto governing body of the US to a forum for frivolous people to make frivolous speeches and occasionally run for POTUS.

hence the battle for the White House is the battle for all the federal government because the WH ostensibly runs the administrative agencies. when a Dem wins POTUS the agencies have free rein to go lib. and on the occasions where a Republican wins POTUS the agencies stubbornly fight all changes.

so yes it should be for the Congress and POTUS to decide but that world disappeared a while ago.

The leeches in Congress all want imperial powers in the event they become POTUS so they can make rules for everybody. They're all sociopaths giddy about power. We should have never let them ruin our government like this.

Tbh that seems high. So you’re a founder selling 10% of your billion dollar company and you can’t be bound to a noncompete?

Edit: just checked and apparently the 25% threshold did not make it into the final rule, just needs to be a BONA FIDE sale of the business.

In many euro jurisdictions you have to pay for the non compete. So any time an employee leaves you pay them a percentage of their salary for the duration of the noncompete. Shockingly no one does noncompetes because they don’t want to pay except for high level execs. That’s the way it should be.

I realize I may be a minority of one on this, but this is bad for business and ultimately the economy. Businesses are fragile entities. This will allow employees more easily to peace out with inside information and skills that they've gained on the companies dime, either to competitors or to start their own companies. It will have a deleterious effect on a lot of industries. I've used a lot of noncompetes over the years and they have kept several businesses going that otherwise would have atomized, so that some moron could try to start his own smaller version of the business and fail.

Years back, I bought a small manufacturing company from a guy who had owned it for a long time. His manager signed a noncompete to keep working for me, but was angry and bitter that he didn't get to buy the company himself. Bad relationship but things rolled along, if rockily. It was a good deal for me overall.

Eventually, I decided to sell the business to one of my customers. The manager and his noncompete went along to the new owner with the deal. After a short while, it became clear that things weren't working out, and the new owner closed the business, freeing the manager from his noncompete.

He was free at last to pursue his dream of entrepreneurship! The manager assembled some equipment and rented the old building. He had tons of inside knowledge of how to make the product, relationships with customers, etc. And how did he do?

He fell flat on his face. The business shriveled up and died within a couple of years. The guy just wasn't cut out to be his own boss. But here's my point: if it hadn't been for his noncompete, he would have gone out on his own sooner, and had the same result. The only difference is that the business wouldn't have continued profitably, producing jobs and helping customers, for as long as it did.

What counts as a non-compete? Would think companies could just rephrase the language as a clawback and ONE WEIRD TRICK their way back into essentially the same security against leavers

No weird trick with this one:

https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/noncompete-rule.pdf

Non-compete clause means:

(1) A term or condition of employment that prohibits a worker from, penalizes a worker for, or functions to prevent a worker from:

(i) seeking or accepting work in the United States with a different person where such work would begin after the conclusion of the employment that includes the term or condition; or

(ii) operating a business in the United States after the conclusion of the employment that includes the term or condition.

(2) For the purposes of this part 910, term or condition of employment includes, but is not limited to, a contractual term or workplace policy, whether written or oral.

As someone who has had non-competes themselves and also made employees execute them, GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE!!!111 They are complete and utter bullshit and unAmerican at their core. "Oh, hello, you're fired, but don't try and get the same kind of job near us for an entire year. You and your family can eat dirt or get a job at McDonald's." There were literally jurisdictions in America that enforced them against people the company fucking fired.

Only a few states say if you're terminated not for cause (cause would be like you stole secrets etc.) you automatically can't enforce a non-compete because if you were so valuable to the company that they needed a non-compete, they wouldn't fire you/lay you off. NY is that kind of jurisdiction. Most other states do a reasonable test, but the employee has to get a lawyer and prove to the judge they shouldn't enforce it because they were terminated, which is complete fucking bullshit if you think about it.
