I've just become a massive Sturm Graz supporter.

If you're turning down good opportunities, it could be worthwhile to consult with a local lawyer on this. For example, in my state these agreements are generally enforceable, but the courts have set a 2 year presumptive limit on the reasonable duration of the restriction. This new rule is not...

I think this is exactly my point. You asked whether signing a non-compete is voluntary and the answer is yes, but as you note that word has an extremely broad meaning. In this instance, the use is highly qualified because many if not most employees probably don't really feel like they have a choice.

I didn't need to put it in quotes but wanted to note the important and obvious qualification which I stated. Signing a noncompete isn't necessarily "voluntary" in the same way that I voluntarily chose to eat an entire pizza last night while watching basketball alone on my couch. In many if not...

Sure its "voluntary" but the decision isn't whether or not to sign the non-compete. The decision is whether or not you want the job (or the promotion, etc.)

It cuts both ways though. There are situations where a company brought on a new guy, only to have him leave less than a year later to start his own company, having acquired all the know-how and vendor/customer relationships necessary to re-create the same business for himself. This is hard to...

The proposed rule was published over a year ago and the FTC received tens of thousands of comments. My impression is this rule as released goes a bit further than many expected. There is a difficult balancing act between encouraging free movement of labor as contrasted with legitimate employer...

And its blacked out locally on NBA Network, so only available on Bally at $20/month. I'm sure locals are still pleased to have paid $250M to support the new stadium! I've texted my teenager to get a dodgy stream link for this evening.

Has a team ever won 6-0 followed by a 0-6 loss in the PL?

While they're doing Andy and Ashley, why not include Joe so they get all three of the Cole brothers in one class?

"the latter" would've been better here

If you answer "the latter" to every voir dire question I think you'll be safe.

Eternally stunned that SGA and Holmgren's agents let them make that commercial.

Did the Mavs score a total of 8 points in the second quarter or is that a typo?

But in the context of this discussion - max superstar player earning $76k - it seems obvious that no WNBA team can leave a revenue stream untapped. And of course the replica jerseys fans buy have to include the shirt sponsor or it defeats the purpose. Even NBA teams have commercial sponsor...
