Legal Question in Business Law in Massachusetts

Non-Compete Contracts

I was recently terminated by my company due declining sales in the overall market. My employment contract has a non-compete that was written based on and is stated in the contract on California law.

With the recent ruling in California Supreme court that non compete contracts are invalid, does this exempt my non compete.
