That's what happens when you quit, rather than taking a layoff. She didn't move, change industries, or wait for Citrix to severe the relationship. Of course they went after her.

I was going to say the same thing. The one question I have is the other 6 employees. Were they terminated or did they up and leave?

My guess would be that they quit. Once terminated, non-competes become essentially impossible to enforce. Not always, but basically. Especially if it is a no-fault fire (layoff.)

How enforceable are they to begin with? I've seen even tiny companies require a non-compete... seems like it's a waste of paper.

Just because 1 clause is non-enforceable (possibly) doesn't mean everything is unenforceable.

Eltima Software, which makes the popular Elmedia Player and download manager Folx, today confessed the latest versions of those two apps came with an unwelcome extra – the rather horrid OSX.Proton malware.
...
Proton is a remote-control trojan designed specifically for Mac systems. It opens a backdoor granting root-level command-line access to commandeer the computer, and can steal passwords, encryption and VPN keys, and crypto-currencies from infected systems. It can gain access to a victim's iCloud account, even if two-factor authentication is used, and went on sale in March with a $50,000 price tag. -

They are, you don't need anti-virus/malware protection or anything! You don't even need a firewall!

Computer sales company MSY Technology has been fined for the second time in six years over misleading customers about their rights.
The ACCC, Australia's consumer watchdog, took MSY to the Federal Court over allegations the company made false or misleading representations on its website and in oral and email communications to consumers over whether they could get faulty products repaired, refunded or replaced.
