They're based in California though, where noncompetes are un-enforceable from what I understand

Yea, I think if they were offered severance as part of dismissal/layoff and it had a non compete they could lose that. Beyond that, it doesn't hold much water in CA for the employees.

Even if they weren't based in California any employee living and working from California would largely be protected
