White House urges ban on non-compete agreements for many workers
Non-competes, the most anti-innovation, anti-skilled worker, anti-free market, anti-business and anti-American thing in working today. Non-competes are protectionism for larger businesses over small&#x2F;medium businesses.<p>As a freelancer, contractor and self-employed business owner&#x2F;worker, please make these illegal, tired of these.<p>The worst part about non-competes is they are blanket protectionism usually and up to 2+ years of non-compete, this sometimes happens on a job that is only 1-3 months. You have to laugh at those types of situations. Usually the client will push them aside or lower the time to the job plus some time, but both non-competes and arbitration agreements are horrible for workers in today&#x27;s economy where people change jobs frequently and many are self-employed&#x2F;freelancing&#x2F;contracting.<p>The non-compete should not exist, at the core removing competition from skilled workers in our economy is bad all around, unless you are one of the current big fish.
