Non-Compete Agreements: Employee's Obligation Under a Non-Compete to Identify a New Employer

My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Florida

Good morning. A few months ago, I left an unscrupulous employer that I have a non-compete with. Several employees have left both voluntarily and involuntarily in the last 7 months and I doubt this provision has been enforced with any of them.

After about a month, I secured new employment with a different company in a completely different industry. Fast forward to today. I received a call from a former coworker at said company. She left 5 months ago and recently secured employment with a company that is not in direct competition with our former employer. Not even the same industry. she noticed this clause in our non-competes:

"Employee will, while the provisions of this Agreement are in effect, give notice to XYZ within 10 days after accepting any other employment of the identity of the new employer"

The way I read it is that I am required to inform the company if I accept a new job.

Now, I didn't notify them of the identity of my new employer and neither have many of the other people who have left both voluntarily and involuntarily. Is this something that I need to rectify in order to protect myself?

I appreciate any help you might give me!
