@@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
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.
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.
So it is for baristas too? Just like waitresses don’t have to paid minimum wage even supposedly a min wage exists-it’s just for some/most, not all I rly wondered about this
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.
I've never signed a non-compete agreement. They never fired me, and 18 month later, I left that job and started my own junk removal businesses. I was working as a W2 employee, but the employer was paying me as 1099 independent contractor. Today, I received a text message from this former employer saying that I violated the non-compete agreement and he is going to sue me if i don't close my new business. While I was working for that company, I was making $180 a day. Most of the time, I worked from 9 to 14 hours a day without benefits and no overtime pay Does anyone in here know if this becomes a legal issue or not?
This is great news! I’ve seen these be used in horrible ways, I’ve seen families separated. Now it feels like America is more free! Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness!
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.
I got trained on a very niche trade by one of the smartest guys in that trade local to me, except the owner decided I was worth less than a Whataburger employee so I left. The guy that trained me died of cancer recently, I'm going to take what He taught me and start a competing business. I don't have a shop, but I have tools and a truck
As the employee you are the one with skills and knowledge the employer wants to keep off the market. Instead of forcing non-compete agreements that effectively make you unemployable in your chosen field and limit your ability to seek a better paying job, they should be force to pay you gardening leave. Want to keep me off the market for 6 months? Fine, pay me to sit at home and do nothing for 6 months
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.

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.
Hmm
No. Not if you sign a contract saying you can't.
@vincesmith2499 so i can be fired, at anytime, but cant get a job after an arbitrary amount of tine decided by the previous employer? yeah no, bs
@@geoffrayylmao It's not arbitrary, since you AGREED TO IT. Maybe don't agree to it next time.

In the same boat. This is great news!
Just wait until intellectual property agreements do the same thing
Toxic bosses are on high alert
As a trainer/coach…finally! How I’ve had to limit my clientele should be illegal.

I’ve seen people get 50% paycuts after signing one of these. Modern day slavery
That’s great. Thank you all.
GOOD! ANYTHING THE AHA IS AGAINST, I AM FOR! DOWN WITH THE AMERICAN HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION!

FANTASTIC NEWS. And will make sure to open the labor market up in a tight market. More competition and more workers
I love this news. I'm a vendor for an IT company at a hospital. They forced me to sign one of those.
Here's to hoping
Good job!
Next stop drug companies from continuous renewal of patents. Patents were only ever supposed to last a short, reasonable time. (e.g. 20 years.)
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.
Does the non compete fix this or is this crap still going on?
@@hotshot-te9xw the ban fixes 99% of this.
Yikes
Can steal all earned income
Define that

The reason to job hop is to go with the employers trade secrets and customer lists etc.
Companies can defend against this with NDAs.
No
Job hopping is to get salary increases and bennies/better bennies
Companies won’t hire up from within anymore 🤷🏼♀️
This is great news! I’ve seen these be used in horrible ways, I’ve seen families separated. Now it feels like America is more free! Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness!
Capitalism for everyone !
Does this affect those who took sign on bonuses?

That puts an unrealistic burden on the employer
Cap
@@Wongseifu548 cap
They can just not use a non compete
finally good news for once
Did it pass?
