The German rules make far more sense dude.

No it doesn't. Non-competes limit your ability to make a living. People are more important than corporations.

In some instances a non-compete DOES make sense, and it should be an option..

I notice you didn't name any instances.

but it shouldn't be used to handcuff someone to a company.

You are right, but they are used for that..

A company should keep its employees by paying well, and by making it a good place to work. If the only way you can keep employees is by making them sign non-competes, then your company is a lousy company to begin with, and the world would be made better by having someone compete with it.

*shrug* the more people do it, the easier it will get. Maybe some people don't have the ability to negotiate that kind of contract. But if you're a programmer, you do.

Once again, the biggest problem here is that people aren't willing to take a paycut. If you're not willing to do that, then it's a lot harder.

The problem is, the workaholics and institution types effectively have forced their ways on everyone else.

Then negotiate your contract to get more days off. I've done it, you can do it, too.

The catch is, you won't get paid as much, and most people aren't willing to put up with that.
