My current employer is demanding that I sign a non-compete contract. Just passed 5th year. The contract states that I may not be an owner, agent or otherwise of a competing business for 18 months for a reasonable area surrounding my current employer. Not specific mileage. Does this limit me from being an employee in a competing business? This area is semi-rural. Clause also states that if I violate contract that I am responsible for their atty fees if they sue me. This meeting has been called for all employees at 8 tomorrow morning and it's sign or be fired. I'm not sure what is legal or what I should do. I'm not planning any career changes but my employers have been unscrupulous in the past. Help!!
