This needs to be passed in the remaining 49 states ASAP. When moving over to my current gig, my previous employer forced me to sit out for 6 months. Their agreement was so broad that it pertained to anywhere where there was phone or email in the world. Also applied to any customers, partners, or competitors so basically I couldn’t work in tech at all (since they are a major reseller and everybody procures something from them).

Hint: Their company color is fuchsia

It's already illegal to enforce non-compete agreements in California. So more like "remaining 48 states" :)

MN, so "remaining 47"

> anywhere where there was phone or email in the world

Surely a clause that broad must have been unenforceable in at least _some_ jurisdictions?
