I have. A guy was an electronics sales account manager at a previous job. He came to work for us as an IT services sales manager. Two or three months in, the previous employer called us and said his noncompete covered everything related to technology (or maybe just a combination of sales and technology), so he left.

That's not how a free job market is supposed to work.

Yes, you're right.

And so non-competes should indeed be banned.
