The worker's former employer is trying to intimidate them into signing a non-compete agreement after they’d already fired them.
The author of the viral r/antiwork post, u/WhitePinoy, noted that they were let go soon after finishing their radiation therapy. They’d been put on a performance improvement plan and then fired. Luckily, they found a wonderful job with great perks at another business. However, the company they’d worked at previously didn’t seem to want to let go.
The company also threatened the OP with legal action if they wouldn’t sign the non-compete clause after they’d already started their new job elsewhere. This sort of intimidation is unprofessional. Not only that, but it speaks volumes about the former employer’s opinion of its staff. However, as things stand currently, the OP has already taken up a new position elsewhere. It’s only by signing the non-compete clause with their former employer that they’d put themselves in a position where they could get sued.Non-compete agreements are pretty much standard, but you can always negotiate
Non-compete agreements are generally signed as a company formally employs you. Broadly speaking, if you don’t want to sign them, then you might not get the position you wanted.
