<prompt> Human: TL;DL: what are the implications of signing an unenforceable non-compete agreement on future employment?I am a 27 year old who works in the insurance financial services industry. I do NOT work in a sales related role. Our new CEO who comes from a sales background is forcing all full time employees to sign a nationwide-3 year non compete with no consideration e.g., additional compensation or termination benefits.Ive consulted with a lawyer who assures me that the nationwide and 3 year ban is unenforceable, but doesnt stop them from 1 making me disclose to future employers that Im subject to a non compete or 2 defending a suit out of pocket.The CEO has given a drop dead deadline this Friday 21st of April which you can sign it or clean out your desk Friday.So, friends, what I need to know is from an HRRecruiter point of view:1 how do you react when someone initially applies to a entry-mid level non sales position who checks the box that they are subject to the non compete?2 if a future employer doesnt ask in the initial application about a non-compete when should I disclose it?3 is this worth losing my job over?Help?  <response>: Consult your coworkers and try to get the lot of you to refuse to sign. CEO will likely have to either revise it or, though less likely, drop it completely.
