This is really good to hear. WeWork has multiple office spaces in my city and I was not aware their full time staff had to sign non-competes. This seems insane considering their entire business is to provide space for freelancers and startups.
I've refused to sign non-competes myself, and have written about it previously[1]. In the past it really hasn't been a problem. People have typically changed their contracts when I bring it up. But in the past year, I had to walk away from two different jobs because of their refusal to remove non-compete language from their contracts.
Are there any groups working on getting national/federal regulations changed to invalidate or ban non-compete agreements? I'd want to contribute to such causes.
