Hi. I work for a technology company in California and I was told I had to sign a noncompete agreement. I had no choice or they wouldn't hire me. I don't really know so much about the company, just do programming for them for their website. They still wanted me to sign one that I won't work for another company that is a social network which is sort of crazy but I needed the job. I have only been there 3 months and I really want to leave. But this noncompete contract says I can't work in the social networking industry for a year. Can they really stop me from taking another job?
