to exploit the rule to their advantage, rather than simply protecting their investment. They can and should protect their investment via other means. Non-competes are unnecessary. I understand circumstances listed where they might be of more use, but I have zero trust that they will not be abused. Businesses can and should find other ways to achieve their ends. If that costs them, I am unsympathetic. Their actions led to this outcome.
