F224 is right... that agreement would get tossed out in court in a heartbeat. Non-competition agreements are rarely able to stand up in court. They have to be fair and cannot impose overly broad and harsh standards. Two years and the whole country (plus additional countries) is far too broad and it would never hold up.

Also, it would be voidable due to coercion to sign, such as them stating sign or you're gone.

Overall, just sounds like scare tactics from management to get employees to sign and stay.
