If you were to get fired the non-compete would likely be enforceable, but it would be up to the terms of the non-compete that you signed. You should have an employment lawyer take a look at it. If you have further questions on enforceability of non-competes check out our employee rights blog www.takethisjobnshoveitblog.com or my website www.behrenlaw.com.
