Who cares if it mostly protects a company? Small businesses use them the same as large corporations. I gave a great example of how it benefited a small company.

I will repost it here:

A friend of mine owns a business and just won a case where a company was started by a few former employees who were in direct competition with him. They went after his clients which they only knew about from working for him. He had NDAs as well as NCs signed. He won but imagine how much weaker his case would be without a NC.

Why should he be exposed to losing his business just to "protect employees" as you called it?

Why were the clients eager to swap over to the former employees?

Competition is a part of life.

I recently had an employee leave. Of course they called my clients but my relationships and reputation has served me well.

Are employees supposed to go hungry once they leave?
