This hasn't made a lot of news, but it would impact many people on Linkedin, so I thought I would share. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) recently held an open meeting to discuss a significant proposal that could impact many of us in the workforce. This proposal aims to ban non-compete clauses restricting employees from joining competitors after leaving a company.
