What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? Virginia
I signed a non compete agreement with a former employer as a sales rep. It states not to work for a competitor for 1 year or 50 miles from location. When I signed it, my manager told me not to worry about it and that he had one too but if push came to shove to always just provide a living for my family. It has been 6 months since leaving that job and would like to go to work as a manager for a competitor 30 miles away. I am not selling anymore, left on good terms and would not do anything to steal their customers or employees. Can they stop me from taking this new job?
