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.

Oh, and the CEO who was threatening to sue and having legal letters sent to him and his perspective employers was getting some kind of perverse gratification out of it. I guess when you're short on manhood it's the little bits of sadism that keep you happy...

And since the CEO was such a prick, I have no second thoughts about disclosing the company name: Intelligent Biosystems in waltham MA. Please work there if you want to be under payed, sued and have a prick for a boss :)
