"If you want to retain your workers, pay them well and make the job not suck."

Instead of using non-competes to lock in workers, the Commission finds that employers that wish to retain their workers can also compete on the merits for the worker’s labor services—i.e., they can provide a better job than competing employers by paying their workers more, offering them better hours or better working conditions, or otherwise improving the conditions or desirability of their employment. These are all viable tools for protecting human capital investments and other investments an employer may make that do not rely on suppressing competition.

Sure happy employees sounds nice, but wouldn’t you rather have a wildly exploitative capitalist system?

FTC govsplaining to oligarchs in the most patronizing shade is now my new favorite category of erotica.
