Non complete clauses are a sign of insecure leadership IMO


My former employer forced me to sign one with no equity stake. Nothing says I value you as an employee like forcing you to stay with them or move to a different area.

Fortunately I found a job at VCU and LOVE it here. I'm at the mercy of the legislature for pay raises but the benefits are pretty good and this point in my career, I'm content with where I am pay wise.

Had it not been for the non compete, I may have never left but I am SO glad I did.
