So you did consent. Just as you consented to your salary, job duties, other policies, etc.

I understand what you're saying and I agree to an extent. Problem is in Louisiana, non-competes are between an employee and an employer. If you are forced to sign it before you become an employee BUT as condition of employment, it's a bit of a grey area. It was always best practice for employers to wait until the employee's first day and then make them sign it as condition of continued employment.

None of that matters now, though, thankfully. frick a non-compete.

Yes, he consented. But in most states the law has evolved such that these non competes are not enforceable unless the employee gets something material in exchange for the agreement. And a job and salary does not count.

Most people will when the alternative is unemployment.

It’s more coercion than real consent
