If you can be fired at any time for any reason, it's only fair that you can quit and find a new job at any time for any reason.

@@vincesmith2499 then i wouldnt have a job, and then cant eat, especially if its the only business in the area that requires my skills, because i dont have a job, i cant move, eat, etc. non competes dont make sense, and just because its on a paper you agreed too, doesnt mean it should be legally binding, otherwise people could sign themselves into literal slavery, but thats not moral either

This is fantastic news! I've been with a company that underpays me for my projects, while another company offers significantly higher compensation for the same work. Unfortunately, my current contract includes a non-compete clause that prevents me from working with any competitors on the same project during my tenure and for a year after leaving. This makes it impossible for me to switch to the better-paying company for the same project

Next stop drug companies from continuous renewal of patents. Patents were only ever supposed to last a short, reasonable time. (e.g. 20 years.)

It’s simple, give an employee clear goals and reward them when they meet goals. That hasn’t been done and companies use these as tools to hold employees in their current roles.

In Oregon by law when an employee quits for whatever reason, the company can steal all earned income and investment in the company even when there is no violation of the contract. Then they defame ex-employees in the nationwide industry.

@@YeshuaKingMessiah we got paid once yearly on commission and a small stipend monthly. They called the large check in the several hundred thousands of dollars a bonus, a legal trick to control employees. So, when you leave, that is all forfeited along with all the money that we were forced to buy company stock or lose our jobs. I lost millions when I left and didn't even break the contract's covenants. That's your definition. BTW, none of this was included in the signed contract about stealing unpaid income and investment.

even Starbucks has a noncompete clause (6 months)which is ridiculous. Have shown that most of the noncompete clauses in the United States are for workers that make $13 an hour! I really don’t see any trade secrets being given to a $ 13-an-hour employees. This was used to retain employees.

If employers want to enforce a non-compete they should be forced to pay the employee for the duration of the agreement after termination. This was an actual ruling in a friend of mine's case.

What a shallow comment. If you're in the dumpster with Trumpster, he also uses a teleprompter, and if he had stuck with it instead of partying behind the podium he could have been re-elected.
