I too have seen it work the exact opposite way. A person was given a "CEASE AND DESIST" order from an attorney representing the former employer. The employee was scared to death that he was not going to be able to work at the new gym. He retained a lawyer and with one quick letter the former employer went running off with tail between their legs.
As far as your friend goes, that is a very sad and unfortunate situation. I agree with you on the "don't sign the no compete", but, sometimes it just ain't that easy.
It is rare that they are not held up in court. I have seem 100's where they have. Like it has been said before. do not sign if you are not ready to stand by it. The time to make changes is BEFORE it is signed.
