Im happy for a non-compete with the following compromise.

1. You pay my full salary for the duration of the non-compete.
2. The salary increases 7% annually.
3. You restrict the non-compete to a narrow industry.

Otherwise, the risk exposure is too large for me.

How can someone make you sign a document when you quit? I would laugh them out of the room.

They didn't ban non-disclosure contracts. Might make more legal work for them, but at least now you can leave toxic work environments.

I've had the car delivery a few times. Always throws me.

I never said it wouldn't work for anyone else. I was just explaining my roadblock. AKA too long to charge without thousand of dollars in electrical rework in my home or very long waits in public spaces. I actually really want an electric car as I love performance.

Personally for me, a plugin hybrid will be my next car. That will be 6 or 7 years from now though, no reason to trade in a perfectly fine car.

My issue is the cost to install the charger at home. My electrical box is full and in a finished room. We are talking a lot of work just to charge my car faster than a 110 can.

I had my last car for 6 years. The only thing it needed was oil changes. I ended up selling it because I wanted apple car play. I bet I was still a year or two away from a brake job.

Mine (BMW) is 10k miles and I never hit that a year so I just get it done once a year. The first 3 years were included in the price and for an additional $225 I can cover the next 3 years. That's about the time I'll want a new car. Everyone acts like this shit is cost prohibitive.

I get an amazon package every day. I've never seen an amazon branded truck. I see rental trucks that look like they came from war zones.

The answer then is simple. Pay should be the only option for EU customers. Then it's not illegal and it's not extortion, it's just how you fund Facebook in the EU.

I wish my MacBooks would last a little less long. Usually around year 6 I just give up and buy a new one. Only issue is typically battery. I have a M1Max from 2021, I really want to upgrade but my wife's intel MacBook just won't give up the ghost.

My team is geographically disparate in locations where we have offices. So working in office is just working remote with a commute.

Having worked for a company that did indeed hire anywhere there is a huge administrative burden to support those employees as they move. Some countries need business entities in them, states have wildly varying tax codes that must be considered. Having worked at a payroll provider as well these things have actual cost to standup on a country/state by country/state level.

White women ruined that for us. If they see a young child outside without an adult you are getting a CPS visit.

Sure you can win, by suing the HOA which comes out of your and your neighbors dues. Which will cause the board to raise rates and target you more harshly in an attempt to drive you from your home or get a lien on your home (possibly outright take it).

There is a reason I do not and will never live in a HOA. I think that is the point missed here. I do not live in a HOA, everyone around me does. Being the standout won't help me sell my home in the future. Lemmings like everything to be lemming like.
