I mean, this makes sense and is what a non-compete is for in the first place.
The issue has been that lately corporations have been using it on everyone, not just senior management, to control their movement, and not have to pay them as much, as there’s less competition from movement.
Though personally I don’t think it should be used for anyone, as we need to allow as much competition as possible, so that we all can earn greater income through better salaries.
