Non-Compete Pacts Called Bad For Tech Innovation
carusoj writes in with NetworkWorld reporting from a panel at Harvard last week. It concluded that employee non-compete agreements have stifled tech startup development in Massachusetts, where the pacts are aggressively enforced, but failed to hold back the tech industry boom in states like California, where they are mostly unenforceable. We've discussed non-competes often here in the past; Techdirt made much the same point a year and a half back.
So business school cunts and lawyers are detrimental to the progress of society?
Who would have thought it?

You will be hearing from my attorney shortly.
