On May 7, 2024, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) made headlines by passing a new rule that aims to ban most non-compete agreements. This move is part of a broader effort to promote fair competition and protect workers' rights. However, due in large part to news outlets inaccurately understanding and reporting on the rulemaking process, the initial excitement surrounding this announcement has led to confusion and legal complications, as many employees mistakenly believed that non-compete agreements were banned as of that date....
