Forced retention

This does not look right as the last example is about an army and obviously an army is not a company. I don't see how anyone in a democracy could be forced to stay in a company except in wartime.

 * Keep This didn't even require any thought. Nom's argument is basically WP:IDONTLIKEIT. Industrial Insect (talk) 19:36, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Have you read the article? Chidgk1 (talk) 19:43, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. No such thing in business, except possibly in a dictatorship. Military retention is a viable topic, but this article has very little to do with it. Clarityfiend (talk) 11:08, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Keep. I think this is a valid concept. We aren't talking about physical force here, but rather about economic pressure: employment contracts that keep people from accepting employment with a competitor have the effect of forcing retention, unless the employee is prepared to do without an income.

 * Non-compete clause covers that, and people can switch fields so as not "to do without an income". Clarityfiend (talk) 11:27, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete or Merge to Employee retention . Redundant, describes Employee retention, Non-compete clause and Golden handcuffs in a single article. PaulT2022 (talk) 23:52, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
 * No objection to merge to any related article. PaulT2022 (talk) 05:36, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

Relisting comment: Looks like everyone has a different idea about what to do with this. Does anyone want to second one of these merge suggestions, or no? Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, asilvering (talk) 03:12, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge to Non-compete clause. Bookworm857158367 (talk) 08:56, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Merge to non-compete clause. The employee retention article is terrible itself. Golden handcuffs seems more about carrots, whereas the article in question is more about sticks. DMacks (talk) 05:44, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
 * What is there worth merging? Clarityfiend (talk) 11:58, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
 * There may not be anything. But to the extent there is that is relevant... DMacks (talk) 14:47, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
