So my company was acquired by a heartless capital fund. The capital fund requires a no compete clause for 12 months after you leave the job. Everyone had to sign it to get on the bonus program. The company sent a new contract that excludes the no compete clause, and they tried to sound magnanimous. The truth is non-compete clauses are not legal in this state. They just didn't check the law before the original contract was signed.
