This all applies equally to manufacturers. Again, Nod-Solicit and Non-Disclosure agreements are fine and make sense.
At my previous employer I went from superstar to "out of favor" following a change in managers. I continued to work, produce good sales numbers etc. But it was clear that I was no longer a valued part of the sales team. I started looking around. Got to the job offer phase with a competitor. Their legal department iced the offer because they were afraid of legal costs related to the non-compete.
