So far I've gotten three offers in a row that have such a clause. The first one obstinately refused to make any alterations to the contract - I think it had more to do with unifying employee contracts and less to do with the specific clause, but still - and as a result I turned them down. Haven't had the chance to broach it with the other two yet. We'll see what happens on Monday.
My previous company had no such clause, but it was a tiny startup and was unusual in a few different ways (no VC funding, for one), so I don't know how much of an outlier it was.
