I quit a job I'd been at for well over a decade, because the company's new owner was making everyone sign noncompete, non-disparagement, and intellectual property contracts. They would own everything I invented while employed with them, even if I did it at home on my own time, if in their opinion it had anything to do with their business. I checked with a lawyer first, who said it was probably all enforceable in my state.

I’m on this, it really really sucks. I have a good idea that has nothing to do with my work and I can’t / won’t build it

I love my job, and I have a family, so the risk reward is too hard, but I’m literally going to quit in the next year just to get out of that stupid paperwork
