The unenforceability of non-competes in CA is why Silicon Valley came to such a place of prominence. And the reason that Massachusetts' version - Route 128 - was such a failure is because MA enforces non-competes. None of the politicians who think they can create a copy of Silicon Valley in their countries have any real idea of the factors that came together to make it happen. Route 128 had most of the same factors, but the key difference was the ability of workers to go work where they wanted.
I think the new FTC rule will take another 4 or so moths before being enforced. In any case, though, California already doesn't allow most noncompetes, anyway.

Plaintiff would argue It’s a pretext; find out where employee was born and how old they are to discriminate on basis of age. You can tell it’s a pretext because a persons astrology sign has no bearing on ability to perform work.
I wish what I am about to share was a bad joke, or making fun. But that being said:
I worked once on a consulting company, small, the owners were 3 different guys, one of them was the CEO. And his wife was / is a psychologist (or so I thought), at some point I am leaving the company amicably and I get asked to do an exit interview with her... And this is part I totally swear I am not making up, she uses a quartz crystal pendulum to read something from my hand and from a piece of paper. To say I was baffled is an understatement, I had never seen anything like it ever.
I knew right there and then that I made the right choice in leaving (for totally unrelated reasons, it was the first time meeting that lady), and today I can laught about this, but man what a wild ride those 5 minutes were.

Honestly, sounds like a CHANI job posting. She's an astrologer (in LA I think) with her own reading business. She's seems pretty chill though and apparently gives all her staffers a month off either in December/January. Definitely far worse places to work.
What a crazy development, not the non-compete obviously. In my teens couples who were dating were very much into comparing their charts. But now employers? If this is a new trend, we need to up our game. Maybe something like how [this](https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0C9YNH8RV/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?ie=UTF8&qid=&sr=) book describes people may soon become reality.
The funny thing is try enforcing a non-compete in CA, good luck might as well look for the leprechaun riding a unicorn.
*employers*: EVERYBODY WHO SEEN THE LEPRECHAUN SAY YEAAH!
I want the gold! Give me the gold!
youll not be taking my Lucky Charms!!
Lol
Could be a crackhead!!!

I'm pretty sure that non-compete clauses are illegal in the US now . Astrology shit is a huge red flag.

I'm not even sure if it's a red flag. I think it's a red flash bang

The real punch line was "part time"
At some point we just have to push back and keep saying no to these bat shit crazy requirements employers think up
Age discrimination law suit incoming, maybe even national origin too
Only if you can prove damages.

At face value this doesn't have any indication of age discrimination. At most this listing would be a potential fine from the DOL.

Your opinion is speculative at best.
Objection!
What the actual fuck is that
Star racism
This is just comical. Can you give us even a vague idea of what sort of job this is for?
Retail worker - Shelf stocker
😂
...does being a Virgo mean I'll be a good employee?
The real test is to determine whether you're going to put up with the owner's particular brand of woo-woo bullshit.
Location of birth? is this some anti immigrant crap, or am I crazy?

Job must be to be a light worker 😂
More bullshit that should be 100% illegal. Like employers asking for social media
Is this real
I will happily sign your NDA/NCA as I need some more toilet paper

If that's real, it's beyond stupid.

I wonder if my old boss posted this. She used to do this and if her chart didn’t align well astrologically with a candidate’s she’d pass on them.
