As someone subject to a geographic non-compete, I find it is simply a way for the 800 pound gorilla to bully the worker.  Even if it’s “non-enforceable“, that still means you have to defend against it legally.  =$$$$$. The 800 pound gorilla has deeper pockets that I do. So I don’t buy whatever argument made by the US Chamber of Commerce, representing the 800 pound gorillas’ interests. Getting rid of these is good for workers ultimately, despite the horse baloney being pushed by those representing 800 pound gorillas about how wonderful they are and how many options they give to workers. The reality in the end is you are faced with a take it or leave it proposition. There is no negotiation about these. At least not with an 800 pound gorilla.
