i think about three basic ideas. one is to enhance exit options in many states. california is unusual and that they do not have noncompete agreement we went to the pet is. a noncompete agreement says that when you sign this contract to sign up that says if you quit you are not allowed to work in the industry for a number of years. you have to leave your talents and skills behind if you find work is intolerable. steve: i know the original idea was to protect company secrets from top workers that cry, they didn t want engineers codes. steve: why is that? california silicone valley is doing just fine without it. steve: how many workers are affected by that?
