Severance and Non-Compete Clauses After a Layoff

In this episode of The Layoff Podcast, Lucas and Luna dive into the often-overlooked interaction between severance packages and non-compete clauses. Using the recent FTC non-compete ban proposal as a backdrop, they explore what happens when your severance agreement includes a non-compete, how to negotiate around it, and real-world strategies for protecting your next job opportunity. They discuss a case study from a former Amazon engineer whose severance was tied to a 12-month non-compete, and how that played out in Washington state's evolving legal landscape. Whether you're facing a layoff or just want to be prepared, this episode gives you concrete talking points for your exit negotiation. #Severance #NonCompete #Layoff #JobLoss #FTC #NonCompeteBan #Amazon #TechLayoffs #EmploymentLaw #Negotiation #Careers #CareerAdvice #WashingtonState #Engineer #ExitStrategy #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TheLayoffPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
