    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.

          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.
