Colton was hired by Varney Associates in Atlanta, Georgia as its chief architect. At the time of his hire (two years ago), Carl signed a covenant not to compete stating that he cannot work with Varney's competitors in the state of Georgia for a period of one year in case his employment with Varney Associates ends. Varney found out that Colton was working part-time for himself, and immediately terminated him. Colton is now interested in being an architect for Team Architect in Macon, Georgia. What might be true in this situation?
