That’s why I have my lawyer cross out bullshit in contracts I sign, and if it’s not removable, at least explain, in layman terms, the ramifications to me. My first early startup job offer (from the people I “trusted”) had so many land mines in it that it took 2 weeks of back and forth and a board decision to get it to the point where fucking me over closer to the acquisition (which did eventually occur) wasn’t lucrative. And there were multiple such clauses in the initial version. Eg work for us for a few years and then we’ll get you into a situation where you will inevitably fuck up and strip you of vested equity by firing you “for cause”, just to give one example As to these folks - I pass no judgement here, could be they just didn’t read the fine print or this was the best possible outcome. Hire a good lawyer next time.
