      Alexa, please start the engine.

      I'm sorry, Dave. I cannot do that. Your BAC is 0.88, which is eleven times the legal limit.

        Amazon, Google, Facebook... they probably have enough info from the things that you buy to figure out if you are drunk or not based on that alone!

                              That's what happens when you quit, rather than taking a layoff. She didn't move, change industries, or wait for Citrix to severe the relationship. Of course they went after her.

                                I was going to say the same thing. The one question I have is the other 6 employees. Were they terminated or did they up and leave?

                                  My guess would be that they quit. Once terminated, non-competes become essentially impossible to enforce. Not always, but basically. Especially if it is a no-fault fire (layoff.)

                                    How enforceable are they to begin with? I've seen even tiny companies require a non-compete... seems like it's a waste of paper.

                                      Just because 1 clause is non-enforceable (possibly) doesn't mean everything is unenforceable.
