Non-competes are INVALID

Lina Khan’s noncompete crackdown could leave most doctors and nurses out in the cold

Last month, in a 3-2 vote, the FTC approved a final rule prohibiting contracts that prevent an employee from taking a job with a competitor. Calling the noncompete agreements “a widespread and often exploitative practice,” an agency announcement described them as an unfair method of competition that depresses wages and hinders new business formation.

The rule bars employers in most industries, including health care, from using contract clauses that block employees from leaving for other jobs or starting a competing business in the same geographic area for a fixed period of time.

The rule also prohibits contract terms that function like noncompetes to stop employees from leaving to work for competing companies or start their own businesses. These might include overbroad nondisclosure agreements, training repayment provisions, and nonsolicitation clauses.

Well…..see Syneos isnt a pharma company. It’s a scumbag service company, and you are the “service”, like a prostitute. You work for them, not for the manufacturer of whatever product you are selling. Syneos has no competing product, with ANY pharma compan. So they can’t actually enforce shit like this anyway, no matter what they tell you.

Always were in this case. Syneos isn’t a pharma company. You work for Syneos, not whoever manufactures whatever product you are selling. They are a service company, they can’t legally enforce a non compete if you leave to work for a company they don’t even compete with.

They never were valid here. You work for Syneos, they compete with other CSOs. They do not compete with other pharma companies. Even a boot lawyer would laugh at the shit Syneos has you sign, not worth the paper its written on.
