    I got this one:

    Be employed by or go into business in any field which is in direct competition with [COMPANY], including starting Employee's own company which would act as a competitor of [COMPANY], either during the employment hereunder or for a period of two (2) years following the termination of such employment, notwithstanding the cause or reason for termination.

    Still haven't signed it. Feel I can trust my employer now but it still seems kinda serious.

    • Agree to it provided they pay 2 years salary as severance at the end of your employment. See if they still want it that bad.monNom
    • Otherwise, do not give your rights away. You are giving up something very valuable. You could work there 1 week and still have to abide by that contract.monNom
    • And you could have to pass on the chance of a lifetime because you signed a non-compete and didn't even get compensated for it.monNom
