Although it wasn't necessary. Non-competes are almost always thrown out due to being a right-to-work state. They're virtually useless. And beyond that, small companies are not going to blow money/time taking a non-executive-level employee to court over such a thing.

Sorry. No. I have enforced non-competes through litigation many, many times on behalf of several companies. It is true that most small companies won't pay to go that route but many mid-large companies will successfully.

As for the OP, the company would likely get in more trouble legally for keeping confidential files with employment information unsecured than the employee would for robbing his file.
