My hard-won experience on this matter is: If an employer/client tries to pressure you to "c'mon, just sign it, it doesn't really mean that / isn't enforceable anyway" -- especially when the contract unambiguously does really mean what they say it doesn't really mean ... From that fact the transaction is pretty much destined to not be particularly fruitful anyway, and (unless you're short on cash or otherwise in some kind of a corner), you're best cutting your losses and moving on.
