Non-competes have positively flourished in the tight labor market. I know a guy who works in PR who moved across the country to work for a company serving a completely different industry who dealt with aggressive emails from his former employer's legal team about enforcing the non-compete he signed.

I know a guy who was wrongfully persecuted for his non compete, it didn't even apply, but his former employers had friends in high places amd proceeded anyway. He lost his new job and it completely upended his families life.
