Why the fuck do they even need a non-compete clause for a sandwich shop? Are they worried people are going to reveal their secret Jimmy Johns technique for putting salami on bread to Subway?
The myth of the non-skilled worker isn't working in their favor here.
It's legal for them to do so, and if employees can't go to a competitor, it has the effect of depressing wages.
Non-compete clauses make sense for certain higher level employees (and usually involve some sort of garden leave payment too) but corporate America has started to slip all sorts of bullshit into standard employment contracts just because they can.
I don't even think it makes sense for them anymore. You either retain them with pay and job satisfaction or not. This idea that corporations can own experience is bullshit.
Kinda like the whole Disney artist thing.
Any character you create while working for Disney is Disney property. Even if it was a quick sketch done on a napkin. Even if the character doesn't even have a name.
wait is that on company time or just in general?
In general. Even art the artist makes at home in their own free time belongs to Disney
It's not just to depress wages, preventing worker mobility also lets you abuse them in other ways like rotating schedules (which also prevent workers from holding multiple jobs or going to school), bad work environments and wage theft.
It's not surprising that companies are increasingly abusing the workforce, it's surprising that workers haven't started organizing to fight back.
I mean you joke, but that actually happened by me lol
There is a hero shop that is well known for specific heros they make that are really good, so after they fired a guy who worked there for years and years he opened his own shop and took all their recipes plus added pizza. (He also hired someone to make pizza and then fired him after he learned how to do it. He's just a scumbag lol)
Did you mean gyro🥙?
Nope, it's one of the variations of names for a long sandwich we use in NY. Hero, grinder, hoagie, sub, etc... lol
Aah! We learn something every day
It isn't about need, but about want. Every extra notch of control they can get over workers employment opportunities, they want.
