In europe, in my country, the company that wants to enforce their non-compete has to pay the former employee their salary for the duration of the non-compete. I mean if i was working at a bank diing ordinsry software development like is done at all the banks then if they want me not to use my knowledge of payment schedule snd late fee calculations at other banks then they have to compensare for it.

This change in the law killed all the non-competes for software developers, because it was ridiculous. If you wsnt me not to work then pay me for my time.

Interesting,. In my European country, non-competes are fully legal and one-way, with no compensation for the employee if the other party chooses to enforce it.
