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.
