TIL 41 states let a non-compete reach low-wage workers, and I found it in a $12 ebook
I was poking around a contract help site last month and found a stat that stuck with me: in 41 states, companies can still slap a non-compete on hourly or low-wage workers. That came from a small $12 ebook on contract basics I got off a forum link, not some fancy legal site. Back when I started doing freelance work out of my spare room, a non-compete felt like a big-company thing, not something a small shop would hand a part-timer. Turns out the rules vary a ton by state, and a lot of folks sign without reading past page one. I'm now checking the fine print on a little gig offer that has a two-year clause buried on page 4. Has anyone pushed back on one of these and got it trimmed down, or do you just walk away?
