If You Can't Stand the Heat, Stay Out of the Kitchen

How do you feel about non-compete clauses?  Personally, though I’ve signed one or two in the past, I’ve never let them bar me from pursuing what I needed to do to earn income.  One organization attempted to rein me in with a non-compete clause, utilizing letters from attorneys with imposing letterheads, which I replied to with a hearty invitation to pursue their spurious legal claim.  Nothing came of it.

Now, this does not mean that I would utilize proprietory information from a business with which I had severed ties.  I find doing that a somewhat repulsive use of someone elses shoulders to stand on, and I prefer to stand on my own.

Non-compete clauses are nothing more than a garlic necklace, or silver cross, to brandish because certain companies and individuals are afraid of competition.
