Laughable unenforceable in CA. Basically equivalent to toilet paper for the employer in CA.

You still don't want to deal with even a nonsensical court date if you can avoid it with 5 minutes of redlining.

Is an extra round of back and forth to strike a legally meaningless provision worth it though? Another reply in this thread claims their former employee sued even with the redline.
