FTC cracks down on companies that impose harmful noncompete restrictions
I wish federal law would just abolish non-competes completely.<p>When I gave advanced notice to Tudor Investment that I would be quitting they threatened to fire me with cause so that they could still enforce the non-compete without paying me in accordance with NY state law.<p>And they followed through with their threat, sending me a letter telling me I was being terminated with cause the day I officially quit.<p>To make their shitty shenanigans worse, they made the unpaid non-compete just short enough so that it wouldn&#x27;t be worth it to sue.  The NY Department of Labor also doesn&#x27;t handle complaints if you&#x27;re salaried above a certain threshold.<p>Don&#x27;t ever work for Tudor Investment, they&#x27;re two-faced assholes, but I shouldn&#x27;t be telling you that when the government should.
