The Federal Trade Commission narrowly voted Tuesday to ban nearly all noncompetes, employment agreements that typically prevent workers from joining competing businesses or launching ones of their own.

      How recent is this? I’m asking because about 10 years ago, I worked for a local TV station owned by a massive media company and not only did I not sign a non-compete, I left them for a better paying job at the other local TV station owned by a different massive media company and they didn’t make me sign one either.

      Both jobs were utter shit, by the way. I’m not defending them or the shitty stations or the shitty companies. I’m just surprised.
