  1. Non competes need not banning, they need reworking. Where I live, non compete clause only applies, where the worker quits and the worker has to be compensated for the inability to work in similar conditions, the penalty being the loss of the compensation. To illustrate, say you work as an accountant in accounting company, then you can't go doing accounting in another accounting company for two years per non compete agreement or start a business of your own doing accounting. For those two years, you receive salary as if you were employed by that employer and it doesn't bar you from doing accounting for say a manufacturing company, because in that space, you're not competing with your former employer. In that case, if you found job quickly enough after resigning, you'd effectively have double salary. If you moved to another accounting company, the only thing, that your former employer could get out of you, is the rest of the money they should have paid you for that agreement. But man the idea of being tied by a non compete after you get let go or fired is absolutely ridiculous! I mean, such agreement, if left alone, would be illegal on the grounds of lack of consideration!
