Wall Street Cries Foul

Oh mama Wall Street is throwing a fit! The Federal Trade Commission wants to ban non compete agreements saying it's not fair competition. Well you know what they say "Life is like a box of chocolates you never know what you're gonna get." But Wall Street sure doesn't like this surprise!

A Ripple Effect Across the Economy

If non competes are banned it's not just Wall Street that will be affected. It'll have a ripple effect like when a pebble hits the water. Companies like Google Apple and Nike are also against the ban. Looks like they're all in the same boat or should I say shrimp boat?

Wall Street Under Scrutiny

Wall Street is already under fire for their unpopular back to work policies. Now this non compete ban has put them in a "precarious position." It's like they're caught in a storm just like Lieutenant Dan on that shrimp boat.

What's Next for Wall Street?

The FTC's proposal is set to be announced in April and it could go either way. They might ban non competes across the board or they might come up with some fancy schmancy compromise. Well I guess we'll just have to wait and see!

Legal Challenges Looming

If the ban goes through you can bet your bottom dollar that there will be legal challenges. Those Wall Street folks are a crafty bunch. They'll argue that the FTC doesn't have the authority to make this rule. It's like a game of ping pong back and forth!

Unhappy Employees on the Horizon

If non competes are banned there could be a mass exodus on Wall Street. People might start running like Forrest Gump himself! So Wall Street better start looking at how to keep their employees happy. Maybe they need a little more chocolate in their lives.
