That&#x27;s usually part of the employment contract, so it&#x27;s not something you&#x27;ll be shown after having gotten hired, and if it was, it would have even less standing than if the clause was included in the employment contract.<p>When I got hired by Microsoft, I was specifically told to get a lawyer to review the contract before I sign it.  I did and my lawyer promptly told me the same at the person here, which is that the two non-compete clauses were so broad as to be unenforceable.<p>When a &quot;partner company&quot; to my MSFT division kept hiring our staff, Microsoft didn&#x27;t try to enforce the non-competes, but instead threatened to sue the partner if they kept at it.
