I had a non-compete and a host of other completely unenforceable (I thought at least) stipulations in a previous employer. They even tried to put in some three-month notice period, which I thought was way over the top, but ended up working for two months after I gave my notice and left it at that. My view was, they have absolutely tiny chances of finding out where I was joining next, unless I go publishing it on LinkedIn. So I left it at that. And I'm sure my former employer wasn't going to go to the trouble of tracking me down, so that was my decision made. Here's the thing I wonder about (especially in tech) - who's to say where you currently work except what you may reveal in LinkedIn or on social media? |

Companies sell this information to credit bureaus and background check agencies, who then sell it back to other companies. It's not secret.
