Depends what state. Also depends if it is a non compete, or non piracy.

Nope. I sign and laugh. 90% of the time it is a scare tactic. Alabama courts would laugh at the sight of one.

My firm is currently trying to get me to sign one. I have held out so far, but I am unsure what the outcome will be if I don't sign. I am really leaning towards not signing it as I don't feel the agreement is fair to me.

My understanding that as an employee the clause is unenforceable. It would be different if you sold a business then tried to start up a new one in direct competition.

Get it reviewed by an attorney. It may not be enforceable .

In Louisiana it can only be within a parish and even then it is difficult to enforce

99% of the time they are scare tactics....
In sales, if you leave, just have the customer "call you" after you switch jobs....
The only place a non-compete holds water is intellectual property

In LA they are typically only enforced if you are given a pay raise, promotion, or some type of bonus in return for signing it. Even if you are given something for signing, LA courts are very hesitant to enforce. If they don't offer you anything in return it is worthless in the courts eyes.

There is some horrible advice in this thread.
Non compete clauses are enforceable in Louisiana; however, they are heavily disfavored. They must be limited in scope and duration. This can vary greatly depending on the industry.
Speak with an attorney for your unique situation.

In general they aren't a problem. But as someone above mentioned talk with a lawyer to make sure you don't get yourself in a bind.
