Biden administration bans noncompete agreements, setting up legal showdown with business groups

4 comments

1. Non competes are dumb and kill innovation. This decision is beneficial not only for employees but also for small businesses. I think we should thank the FTC for this historic decision.

2. Wait? What?

   Starting when? So that means I can go work for my company’s customers as well as poach people from my company when I move right away?

3. Is the government in the clause?

   Have Blackrock stop buying single family houses (we shouldn’t have to compete with corporations)

   Have the government stay away from censoring social media platforms, let the best ideas win in the town square.

4. More on this subject from other reputable sources:
