In the February 22, 2011 Ask The Headhunter Newsletter, a reader worries about employers that bury little bombs in job offers that might get the new employee fired…
I read about an employee who sued after her company fired her for refusal to sign its new two-year non-compete agreement. She was fired for "non-compliance with company policy." The court reaffirmed an old decision from California that an employer cannot lawfully require the signing of a non-compete agreement as a condition of continued employment, but I don't know whether she has actually won her case. This raises the bigger question: How can people protect themselves against these kinds of surprise "attacks" from their own employers?
