Right, right, the California Exception to Everything...

At a past job, there was a 2-year noncompete clause that stated I could not work with any company, anywhere in the world, who currently competes or might someday compete with the company I was at. I'm in the biotech industry, so I was unimpressed when I first read that. I can only imagine it was designed to intimidate people who would take that clause at its word, not realizing it was so broad and vague that it would be unenforceable.
