I think that for resignations, I can understand the exercising of non-compete clauses. But for retrenchments, the non-compete clauses should not be exercised.

I fire u.
You become jobless but cannot join other companies in same industry.
That is a really potential clause but is it even legal. It violate ability of people to earn a living with their skills.

If they were retrenched, this non-compete clause should not apply. MOM should be able to solve these easily. The clawback clause is a problem. For the first time, I came across the clawback clause for a bank loan after the lock-in period of 2 years. This ends up you are supposed to remain with the same bank for a renewed loan with a higher interest rate.

"RSUs clawed back because they went to work for a competitor."
It is not uncommon butÂ
one should think properly about shares offer from company that is not easily trade or if market is known already over valued significantly.

They signed the employment contracts blindly without asking difficult questions? So now they blamed the company for treating them badly.
In real world, companies are not charity organisations. It is all about gain and profit. They can fire you when they deem necessary.
They can don’t compensate you if the company says it has no $$$.
Luckily I never join Union. I know they are JLBs. Matters are done in closed door.
This is why I have already proposed earlier.
Ban company from hiring for at least 1 year who done abrupt retrenchment. Remove most of incentives from the company given by the govt.
