QUESTION
As an existing employee, should I sign a non compete form?
Asked on Feb 16th, 2013 on Employment Contracts - North Carolina
More details to this question:
The form is too broad on the nature of the business and comes with no consideration, so I question whether it is even enforceable.

You have to assume that it will be enforceable. If it is too dangerous for you to sign, i.e. you will need to take a job that is prohibited by the agreement if you leave employment, then you probably should not sign it. However, keep in mind that you could be fired if you do not sign it.
