Ask HN: Non-Compete on remote jobs
I've never hard to sign a non-compete.
I got an offer for an okay position, it's not the best and my state (Florida) is pretty strong on workers rights on invalidating non-competes if anything happens.
But I'm sickened at this: "I will not directly as owner, partner, stockholder, director, consultant, agent, employee or otherwise engage, participate or invest in any business activity anywhere in the world that performs similar-- blah blah blah.
It's enforceable right?
What do I do? Sign my name knowing it can't be used against me? Or bring it up with HR and cross it out?
The former option is what I normally do, but I'm sick of just accepting what HR says.
