25% of all UK workers are employed under contracts with non-compete clauses (sometimes requiring workers not to 'compete' by getting a job in the same sector for a year or more).
Not only does this stifle career building, it means that even in a sideways move such employees cannot utilise their skills & experience to gain new/different jobs in the same sector, without a wait when their tacit knowledge may degrade lessening their potential earnings!
This needs to be stopped!
