are non-compete agreements just for suckers?
icey: In the very few places that I've had to deal with a non-compete agreement, I've always been able to get amendments made to the contract that limits the specificity to a more acceptable level. Companies just want to try to protect their property as much as possible.The conventional wisdom appears to be that non-compete agreements are largely unenforceable, however I'd be careful in using that assumption: No company wants to deal with someone if they feel that person has no regard for contractual agreements to begin with.
