Yes. But the problem with my own non-compete is that it makes it a little harder to find a job with another company in my field. They all ask if I have any kind of agreement in place with my current employer that could make life difficult for them. If I'm honest, they probably won't call me back. If I lie about it, my current company will probably never do anything about it. But if they so much as send a worthless letter to my new employer about it, I'm fired for lying, regardless of the unenforceability of the agreement.
