the fact that non competes and NDAs are a thing upon leaving a company is fucking insane to me, seems like blackmail at best and straight illegal at worst.
But what do i know, i just like having rights.

Non-competes are completely evil. Especially so in fields requiring very specialized skillsets. And even more so when the company insisting on the non-compete lays off people.
How the fuck is someone supposed to keep a roof over their head in a situation like that?
learn a different skill dumbass L.
Or just be a C suite, and be able to coast for 10 years because you john roth'd your way to having millions of dollars.
Worker: "Well, I got laid off from the job I've been working for the last 20 years, but at least I have the skills I picked up along the way!"
Company: "Actually, those belong to us too."
companies: we need workers to specialize so that we can produce things of high quality.
also companies: What you specialized? Sounds like your problem dumbass.
