Not like that! They mean competition in the sense of how much wage theft is possible to get away with

After noncompetes, they should go after non-solicitation. Entire teams that work well together should be able to defect from shitty employers. It kind of happens anyway but on the quiet, inefficiently - I'd love to see a job website where you can list an entire team.

Non-competes shouldn't be a thing for most employees.

Unemployment in eg the US is fairly low. So you can pick companies which have less stringent non-competes (or non at all).

When I go back to the US, I pick states by which have limited non-competes.
