> Nobody likes being told when they’re about to hire someone that that person does not make enough to be eligible for a noncompete
Am I supposed to feel sorry because a business has to choose between either paying an employee more, or not restricting what that employee does after they leave? Let me get my tiny violin.
Yeah it's a weird thing to say. Nobody likes being told they're going too fast to be eligible for immunity from speeding tickets either, and yet they chose what speed to travel in that jurisdiction didn't they.
Also the law isn't really about enforcing what people "like," otherwise you wouldn't need a law.
