Non Compete
My question is on a non compete agreement i signed 6 months after I was hired. I work for a subcontractor in the glazing industry where there are open bids to get work with General contractors and the bid goes to the lowest bidder,Am i really competing since this is the format of the industry.Also I was not allowed to have a lawyer review the agreement as my boss set a deadline to have the agreement turned into him by the end of the day. I did not receive any compensation for signing it but felt if I did not I would be fired. Also it is for five years or within 500 miles. There are other factors involved and would like to discuss them further with a lawyer.

There are several issue which are relevant here. It may be that 500 miles and five years is too broad thereby making the agreement invalid. In addition there may be a question as to whether you got anything for it, although generally continued employment will be considered consideration. Unfortunately, what this comes down to is that I really would need more information.
