Hopefully non-solicitation agreements are next.

And maybe bans on doing other work outside of work hours?

If all three of those get axed there should be a noticeable improvement in overall productivity.

Considering that is how our public school system is run, off of unpaid teacher hours, I highly doubt it.

I believe the post was referring to “moonlighting” for pay, or building a side company evenings and weekends. Not disallowing unpaid overtime.

Aren't they already illegal? (ref to the infamous Jobs/Google email chain).

Within the US, I believe enforcement of non-solicitation agreements is going to be dependent on the state.

A non-solicitation agreement is not strictly the same as collusion between companies to agree to not hire away each other’s employees.

If I sign a non-solicitation agreement, I as an employee cannot move anywhere else and try to hire former coworkers for some period of time.

The scandal that happened among multiple tech firms (not just the ones you mention) was that several companies agreed at the top level not to recruit and/or hire one another’s employees.
