    I have found that a non-compete is difficult to enforce and *most companies won't go thru the trouble of enforcement.

    True but is your company wants to terminate you it is usually grounds for immediate dismissal.

    When I worked for Ma Bell I had the same type of clause I had to sign every year. I could not do side jobs. Once I transitioned over to the private sector there were no such agreements in place. At one point in time I had my own company. Made an extra 25 to 45K per year doing side jobs.

    Yea, they told me I would have to sign one when I was hired, but I wasn't going to remind them I hadn't.


    I see no benefits in signing it besides retaining my current employment. Not sure how it could be a good thing except I'm finally important enough to worry about legally.


    Exactly what I was always told.

    Yep, and so does the 500 miles to someone who only ever lived in the same county.

    NJ can fire at anytime.

    Problem is I loose leverage by signing it. If it's good for two years after my dismissal WTF am I supposed to do until then? Should I ask for a 2 years severance package? LMAO

    I have two guys now who own companies and want me to do estimating for them on the side. I could make some serious side cash, but it would be immoral to do so. I'd literally be bidding myself jobs at my day job. I would have to make up a alias and if any of my customers ever found out I would be fired on the spot and blacklisted from my local market. Yea..............NOT worth it.

    I had to sign one where I'm at. I look at it a couple of ways. One, mine is only 50 miles and 1 year, so it isn't that bad. Two, Iowa is a right to work state. They can't take away my right to work, so that is going against them. If I leave the company, i can see them having the right to try to enforce this. If they fire me and I have to go find a job, they can kiss my ass. I'll work where ever I can find a job.

    I know in MT those clauses are only valid if YOU choose to leave your job - if you get laid off or fired they can't enforce them.


    :wave: you have remote start on your truck? gonna wish you did....
