For a janitor, a non-compete would be ridiculous! As a software developer, it's annoying but survivable by switching industries. What's worse IMHO is a non-solicitation agreement. I worked at a business that was shutting down operations locally, and a bunch of people were leaving at all levels. One of the departing top execs wanted to hire our development team and we wanted to go. But due to his non-solicitation, he was afraid to even talk to us about any plans he had for at least a year. And by that time we all had to find other jobs...
