They’re based in California though, where noncompetes are un-enforceable from what I understand
Yea, I think if they were offered severance as part of dismissal/layoff and it had a non compete they could lose that. Beyond that, it doesn’t hold much water in CA for the employees.
Any competitor worth their salt will match and exceed that as a signing bonus.
Even if they weren’t based in California any employee living and working from California would largely be protected
I don’t know if this applies here. He is not a normal employee. I could imagine there are several forms of non compete possible that would easily be enforceable. Aka… your stock options dissapear if you compete.
