I don't see how this is legal in any way to force you to sign an agreement like that. I'd be searching for a new job the second a company even consideres forcing me to sign. Also, I'd probably be petty enough to "accidentally" leak classified information that multiple others know of on some forum on TOR just to spite this kind of behavior.
IANAL but wouldn't making employees sign this after they are hired and have been working for the company be seen as coercion or signing under duress (threatened about losing your income if you don't sign) and make it null and void if challenged later?
Probably not. Employers can fire employees at any time for any reason at all.
I don't doubt they could be fired for not signing, I'm saying that even if they do sign they probably don't have to obey the contract since it was signed under duress. Then they can sign to keep their job, quit once they find another job and not worry about the non-compete.
I'm saying the "under duress" part doesn't apply. Your employer could tell you "wear a red shirt tomorrow or you're fired". And then, if you wear a red shirt, still fire you. All legal and all perfectly normal in the usa
