Google has become even bigger than big money. I dont doubt they will have the advantage in winning this.

I agree with JD that it\’s not surprising but that it can probably be overcome with a decent attorney. CA supreme court has already ruled non-competes unconstitutional.

I’ve had several friends hit hard by non-competes. I bet Google’s money will win out over the little guy. Sad to say it though.

That is sad but not totally surprising. I have a feeling a decent attorney can overcome that particular non compete. That would greatly impact the livelihood of most of those employees.

Wow! I had no idea of this kind of manipulation & control tactics used by corporations today. Thanks a bunch for the ‘heads-up’ on this. Amazing, sad & eye-opening.

I wouldn’t mind betting that agreement is not worth the paper it is written on. The employees were given no benefit for the deal and the company reneged on an implied contract of continuing employment.

But it does mean finding a lawyer and making a fuss.
