“On June 22, 2010, O’Keefe entered into the Employment Agreement with Plaintiffs, with the operative version being the Employment Agreement as amended on September 20, 2022, which O’Keefe and Project Veritas signed on September 30, 2022,” the suit states. “As part of the Employment Agreement, O’Keefe agreed to certain terms and conditions, both during and after the term of his employment. In Paragraph 1(B) of the Employment Agreement, O’Keefe agreed that he, identified as ‘Employee’ thereunder, ‘shall devote Employee’s full working time and attention
and best efforts to the performance of Employee’s job’.”
They fired him. He's not an employee. This lawsuit is one of those attempts of the big guy to bully the one with less funds. Surely it's illegal to ask someone to never work again when you fire them? This isn't even an agreement not to work for others. This is a frivolous lawsuit.
Where did you find it? I'm very curious because legalese nitpicks words, and everyday words have different a meaning in legal contexts. As it stands, suing a person into compliance because they can't afford any more legal fees is what I see when I look at this case. And, that's a tried and true legal method.
I'd like to understand why you see something different.

He wasn't fired. He resigned, so he would be beholden to any non competition agreement he signed.
That's not what the article says.
Yeah but those are the facts.
