Across America, employers are using noncompetes to claim ownership of employees' skills

How on Earth would a former employer know where you’re working today? If you’re a rockstar geoneurochemist I can imagine some surveillance, but not for a fast food worker. Are low-wage workers really worth suing into Oblivion?

I am currently under a non-compete that forbids me to steal clients from a former employer. But even if I called every client, how would they know?
