Have you ever had an employer try to put a non-compete clause in your employment contract? Chances are that you did…   You go in on the first day of work, you're handed a bunch of paperwork by your HR representative. Probably in your excitement of joining a new place you might sign documents without reading thoroughly. Some companies make you sign a non-compete Agreement, whereas some have a non-compete clause hidden in the boiler plate clauses and no one bothers to read that far. In reality, this affects a lot of people.
