When I was hired, there were indeed forms that I had to sign about not going to their competitors, due to the risk of trade secrets or whatever.  ...

The interesting thing is though, that I know some folks from my own office who presumably had to sign the same forms, who DID go to a competitor, but nothing ever actually happened to them, you know what I mean?  So, I'm not entirely sure about the legal recourse from a business perspective, but such forms do exist and I've signed them. 

Those are almost always not enforceable.

I didn't think so, I think we even re-hired one or two...seems like a pointless endeavor, really.
