The contract is forced on you in order to obtain employment when there is very unequal bargaining power. It’s also a contract that’s largely deemed illegal in actual courts. He disclosed information that is no longer business relevant and instead just an object of historical interest at this point.
I suppose if you were forced to sign a non-compete to work for a fast food restaurant that you’d also honor that and not work for any other fast food restaurants if you had to quit?
Ugh, I guess I have to include what I assumed would be obvious: “within reason.”
It’s unreasonable to sign a non-compete contract for a fast food job where no entity can be harmed by the employee moving to a different fast food company.
It’s perfectly reasonable to sign an NDA for a creative development job where sharing confidential information can seriously harm the company.
