It's a "bad idea" if you're looking to reduce your potential competition from former employees setting up competing businesses or going to work for rival competitors. More charitably, if a company invests a lot of resources in training its employees, I can see the argument that a non-compete clause is necessary to ensure that their investment doesn't suddenly pick up and walk out the door to a rival the day after training ends. Is that enough justification for their existence as a constraint on an employee's ability to fully participate in the market? I'd say it that it's not at all, but I'm not completely unsympathetic to that justification, as flimsy as it may be. The US Chamber of Commerce has already promised to sue the FTC for this rule claiming that it's unconstitutional for the FTC to promulgate the rule absent an actual law from Congress or that it's something best left to the states rather than at the federal level.

To give you an example, my cousin is an OB/GYN in South Florida and she's part of a practice. The practice was considering selling itself to a larger medical group. One of the provisions of the sale was that if any of the doctors from the practice decided that they didn't want to become part of the larger medical group, that doctor would be prohibited from setting up another OB/GYN practice or working for another medical group for 18 months within the entire state of Florida.

What this does is prohibit these sort of agreements that essentially act as a "restraint on trade" for former employees. "Competition" with a former employer doesn't even necessarily have to mean opening your own business - it can be as simple as being a hired as the employee of a competitor to a former employer. Now, this doesn't ban "non disclosure agreements" (NDAs) which prohibit former employees from disclosing trade or proprietary secrets to their new employers. As far as I'm concerned, NDAs are totally fine whereas "non compete agreements" are total bullshit.
