Might as well get rid of them. When they go to court non-competes always lose. They’re basically meaningless.

Depends on the State. Plenty of NCs stand up in court. That is the reason for this new rule. Too many hair-dressers and other low level workers getting sued when they try to change jobs.
Maybe they can’t afford good lawyers. Up in the finance level I live in (software) it’s pretty much doctrine, they never hold up, sign em, ignore em, take whatever job you want. Our company was having a problem for a while that our re-sellers were poaching our support people and I even asked one of our VPs “why aren’t we putting anti-poaching clauses (basically the mirror of NCs) in our contracts?” And he said “they never stand up, they’re a waste of time”.
