I know lawyers let you put WTF into business contracts because its a business to business contract anything goes, but business to human contracts are different and this is what amazes me about the ethical nature of lawyers & law firms knowing some of those lawyers will go on to become judges of all things.
Been There, Seen it, Done it!
In industries where they really care about trade secrets but are also dealing with people who know how to negotiate, you see a lot of contracts where you get paid your full salary for say a year to sit at home and do nothing, as compensation for not working for a competitor during that time.
But its ok to pay poor wages and let staff go, using the law as a weapon? Isnt that anti capitalist? Isnt that against the spirit of the law?
>with people who know how to negotiate
Rather the employment is not so one sided, the employee has to take everything dished out to them.
>you see a lot of contracts where you get paid your full salary for say a year to sit at home and do nothing,
You also see people put on gardening leave where the contract contains nothing to handle certain situations.
