Over the past year, Meta has hired dozens of Twitter employees

LOL, you mean all those employees you unceremoniously fired?

[-] aeternum@kbin.social 23 points 1 year ago

I'm sure twatter would have a no compete clause if they could. Maybe they can?

[-] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 47 points 1 year ago

IANAL, but from what I understand, you can put anything you want in a contract, but it doesn't mean it's enforceable.

So the reason why companies put in non-compete clauses is mostly because people believe it, not because it's really enforceable.

Now if former twitter employees were still getting severance from Twitter while working at Meta, that could be an issue. But generally speaking, if you're not getting money (consideration) non-compete clauses don't matter much.

In most regions, you're right: you can put a noncompete in a contract, but enforcing it is another matter.

But noncompete clauses are explicitly illegal in California, where Twitter is based.

[-] Stan@lemmywinks.com 15 points 1 year ago

Most severance is paid in a lump sum.

And if they laid you off or fired you, there’s no way they can enforce a no compete clause.

Noncompetes are basically unenforceable in California, you can make people sign them but they’re about as useful as if they were made out of toilet paper

[-] Black616Angel@discuss.tchncs.de 15 points 1 year ago

But wouldn't they be more useful, when made out of toilet paper?

[-] Jallrich@lemmy.one 12 points 1 year ago

I think that it is also different if you get fired. Don’t know in detail, but I assume that if they fire you without a valid cause they don’t have any grounds to complain that you did a sensitive and unique work.
