Tech giant Google has come under fire for allegedly trying to disrupt the spirit of fair competition by making its employees sign non-compete agreements for extended periods of time.
Several anonymous sources have come forward to say that the company first gives them jobs, makes them sign extensive non-compete agreements, and then sends them on extended 'paid leaves', not letting them do any meaningful work.

The harsh agreements ensure that the employees can't join a rival company even if they want to.
While Google has come forward to deny the allegations, many are not convinced. Such practices will only work to hinder the overall development and innovation of technology, that too for mere personal gains.
Even if Google is doing this, it won't be alone in the act. Almost every tech company tries these cunning moves to ensure their monopoly over the industry.
The tech industry needs to find a collaborative way to work together with the sole aim of the development of tech to ensure a smoother future for the whole of humanity.
