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.
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.
