Noncompete Clauses: Signing Away the Right to Get a New Job

Writing "this is a contract of adhesion" basically means "we gave this contract to the applicant and asked them to take it or leave it".

A court will be much more favorable to the applicant, then, because presenting them with a contract they have little power over is something courts generally don't like, as it is unjust.

Asking the employer to write "this is a contract of adhesion" basically means "oh, you're screwing me over? Can you please write that this is a screwing-over contract on it?".

Contracts of adhesion still are still pretty solid. Generally, it's only going to get voided if the process (i.e. take it or leave it) and the terms are unconscionable.

Courts uphold shrink wrap and click-to-agree contracts all the time.
