One time I got an "in between" job at a local business. The first day I showed up and the place made me sign a 17 page front and back NDA.
I've signed actual, legitimate NDAs. They are like 3 pages, max. Some people are just preposterous.
Yeah I go through all the contracts and paperwork and I am never wild about any of them but this is one of two types of things I refused to sign despite losing a fair sum with them. I totally get people signing them though as its a tough loss to deal with. There needs to be laws around reasonableness of contracts.
At least in the EU there are rules about contracts and how they need to be understandable. Companies are not allowed to just hire a lawyer who's going to latinize everything simply to make it as impenetrable as possible.
Of course lawyers still use 16 words where one would do but it results in documents that are more rambly than incomprehensible.
thing with the contract I got was it was readable enough, at least for a person like me, what it was proposing was unreasonable.
There are and a lot of those weird ass NDA's won't hold up...so I've heard on videos from hopefully lawyers but who knows...
yeah its like do you wan to take the risk they can't enforce the indentured servitude contract when the top judiciary came out of a facist fad period.
