I am interested in receiving some guidance in relation to a non-compete agreement I felt coerced into signing from my employer here in Seattle, Washington. I accepted a sales position five years ago with this company, and at the time I accepted the position I lived in Los Angeles, California. Not ever hearing of any requirement to sign a non-compete agreement, I quit my previous job, packed up all my belongings, and moved to Washington State to start my new job. On my second day of employment, a non-compete agreement was presented to me as a ‘required’ condition of my employment. Having left everything I knew behind, and moving my entire life up to Washington, I signed it feeling that I really had no alternative. The agreement is pretty standard, but hinders me from calling on the ‘company’ accounts that ‘I’ have cultivated for a period of two-years! In addition, the agreement also has ‘no’ geographical boundaries defined.
Needless to say, the company atmosphere is not what I wanted and I desperately want to move on, but feel that I’ve been trapped into this job and have no way of utilizing the relationships that I’ve developed over the last five years. Do I have to throw that all away to get out from under this? Do I really have to start ‘all’ over? Thank you for your help.
