Uh-huh. Sure. Best of luck, guys! Has anyone who says that the want to adapt Blood Meridian actually read the book?!?! Because anyone who has read the book knows that there's absolutely no way in hell that it's adaptable.

The actual ad that inspires the parody.

This one still amuses the hell out of me!

I've NEVER seen this before and I haven't laughed this damned hard in nearly a decade!

Let's face it - the most despicable character in the entire series is Toranaga, and it's probably not even close!

What an appropriately melancholy, morally complex conclusion to such a magnificent series

It absolutely is!

Typically with those education benefits, you stay with the firm for a year or two or you reimburse the firm if you depart. There really is no problem with those agreements as an actual, tangible benefit was received.

Aaaaaaand here's the first lawsuit, filed by a business tax firm in federal court in...wait for it...Texas!

'Severance' Season 2 Wraps Filming COLLIDER.COM Filming has wrapped on Season 2 of Severance, the Apple TV+ sci-fi thriller series starring Adam Scott.

That interpretation appears to be stretching the FTC rule well beyond the breaking point.

OK - that's not quite what I had in mind for the exclusivity agreements so it's a misinterpretation on my part. Yeah - I see no issue with a vendor/customer exclusivity agreement of the type you described as long as it doesn't run afoul of the various aspects of anti-trust.

Oh right - I totally forgot about employee non-solicitations!

"Build your own goddamned client/customer list. Asshole." Oh boy - now that one is a tougher sell, even for me Non-competes are relatively low-hanging fruit compared to that!

Right - that's exactly why I have no real issue with legally-enforceable NDAs.

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.
