They are basically two questions, but kind of related, so asking in same post
-
What is the normal notice period in US when resigning? And is it an issue if a company is asking for more than couple of months of notice period?
-
What is the legal value of non-compete clause in that agreement? That you will not work in the same industry for a set period of time after leaving the company. For example, if you are a software developer working at Netflix, you won’t work on any other streaming service / application for set amount of time after quitting / leaving the job.
I wouldn’t beat myself up for complying.
Take the money and run
oh I have no issues taking the stock. it was a pretty piddling amount though and im more annoyed I did not notice the poison pill. i mean I would have taken it anyway given I doubt any action would come from the noncompete and actually I have been out of work for over a year anyway so I think its moot.
