The only way to know if a non-compete will hold up is when it actually makes it to court. I enforced one (50 mile radius, 2 years) about 15 years ago. We won, and the employee had to pay all attorney costs and could no longer work for the competition.

Every attorney is going to say something different, it really comes down to the judge and what they think.

Two words from your post come to mind “ridiculously broad” and “unenforceable”.

I always heard Bertram has a ridiculously broad non-compete - to the point where it might be unenforceable depending on who you ask?

I asked. I think he even considered it for at least 1 second. He didn't actually say no. Just gave a strategic reply. I'm taking it as he is still considering.

        Apparently today is Simon's last day at Powercode.  I don't need to 
know the why's and all that gossip but I do think we need to give him a good 
send off and say thanks for taking such good care of his customers.  He's been 
a true professional in our industry and he had advanced Powercode in leaps and 
bounds beyond anything else out there.

        Any sort of new feature or idea we had he would implement it if it were 
possible.

        He's going to be a huge loss to our industry!

        Its going to be a massive job for Jacob to fill his shoes even though 
Jacob is also a great guy but wow this is devastating news to us..
