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.

Any competitor worth their salt will match and exceed that as a signing bonus.

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