Deep dives
FTC Rules and Non-Compete Bans
The FTC announced a rule banning non-compete agreements, stemming from conflicts between Apple, Google, and Adobe to suppress wages. The rule could eliminate most non-competes in 120 days, except for some grandfathered agreements, possibly leading to lobbying for changes.
Non-Compete Impact and Confusion
The podcast discusses the distinction between non-compete and non-solicitation agreements. While non-solicitation of clients and employees is supported, broad non-compete terms that limit job options and lack time limits are criticized.
