No matter what you signed or what you have been told, review your non-compete agreement with an employment attorney, as many non-compete agreements are illegal and not enforceable.
Non-Compete agreements are different than non-solicitation agreements, and many courts will not prevent an employee from making a living unless the employee did something intentionally to harm the company, like steal a secret list of customers, ingredients, research, information, etc.
It is a common misunderstanding, and many employees simply get bullied into believing that a non-compete agreement is legal because they sign a piece of paper, which is not true. Due to constant abuse, many government agencies are trying to make non-compete agreements illegal altogether.
