It's a condition of employment. They don't have to give you money on the way out the door. Courts have held that they are valid as long as they are not too broadly worded nor last too long. They are common in just about all industries, including mine. My doctor left the group where he practiced, and had to work two counties away for two years. My friend's son worked for a guy who replaced auto window glass. He left and tried to steal his former bosses' clients until his former employer reminded him (via an attorney) of his non-compete.Not sure about GA, but in most states a non compete is worthless unless compensation has been changed hands.
They also are not permitted to keep you from being able to earn a living.Not sure about GA, but in most states a non compete is worthless unless compensation has been changed hands.
Just because they asked them to sign a non-compete when they fired them with no severance why would they have to sign it? They could just tell them to go and tear it up into little pieces of paper and wipe their butt with them they're already fired.
Exactly. No non-compete could be binding on me as I am in a niche market and any non-compete would prevent me from working in my field.They also are not permitted to keep you from being able to earn a living.
That's why their done at the beginning of employment, not at the end..
Unfortunate... new factory = High Overhead = Fixed Costs....
I bet they're regretting their Nascar Sponsorship right now. That probably added up to serious $.Gun manufacturing is such a niche craft I imagine it would be difficult to sign a non-compete and find a decent job when you are laid off....
As far as DD, almost all AR prices have dropped--you can get a Colt 6920 for $700--but some of the upper-tier manufacturers have not changed their prices. I am curious about their financials...how many produced by year vs sold. KAC has government contracts, Noveske has a leg in competition shooting, I wonder what's going on with DD?
Bummer. Tough market right now.
This is it, flooded market, nobody buying ARs as of last week. Sadly the LV event may help the market a little.
Everyone that was booming in 2011-12, hired people, bought extra space and machines to keep up is now lacking the sales to sustain.
I bet that's interestingCheck the thread on M4C. There is an employee who was laid off from DD giving some feedback.
I bet that's interesting
Why would anyone pay $700 for a Colt 6920 in 2017?As far as DD, almost all AR prices have dropped--you can get a Colt 6920 for $700

Because if I'm paying $700 for a 16" AR in 2017, I want middy gas.Why wouldn't you?

The AR market is going through an adjustment just like the housing market did. The market has become flooded because everyone was cranking them planning on the presumed election results. Distributors and dealers are sitting on a bunch of inventory and this inventory has all but stopped selling.
@Bailey Boat is correct. Unless you are being paid specifically for a non compete, it is no good.
Actually I would guess a lot of people who held off hoping for legalization will now go ahead with Form 4's.The SHARE act being shelved did not suprise me, but probably is going to hurt the suppressor market.

That can buy a lot of Twinkies and diet coke.About 15 yrs ago the company I worked for was the prime sponsor for Kenny Wallace's race car. I think we stopped when it reached 10M$/yr.
