Re: non-compete agreement
The question lies in the context of your non compete agreement. If you were terminated, I don't think unless it was for criminal action there would be a problem. Most employment is at-will and therefore terminable by either party at any time.
I would have to read the agreement before I could advise you further. If you have a question about this you should speak to an attorney in your jurisdiction who can advise you.
Good luck!
