- throwaway562if1 2y agoYou haven't worked with many contracts, have you? Unenforceable clauses are the norm, most people are willing to follow them rather than risk having to fight them in court.
- to11mtm 2y agoBingo. I have seen a lot of companies put unenforceable stuff into their employment agreements, separation agreements, etc.
- jprete 2y agoLawyers are 100% capable of knowingly crafting unenforceable agreements.
- riwsky 2y agoYou don’t need to out-litigate the bear,
- mminer237 2y agoI am a lawyer. This is not just a general release, and I have no idea how OpenAI's lawyers expect this to be legal.
- listenallyall 2y agoHave you read the actual document or contracts? Opining on stuff you haven't actually read seems premature. Read the contract, then tell us which clause violates which statute, that's useful.
- ethbr1 2y agoOut of curiosity, what are the penalties for putting unenforceable stuff in an employment contract? Are there any?
- sangnoir 2y agoTypically there is no penalty - and contracts explicitly declare that all clauses are severable so that the rest of the contract remains valid even if one of the scare-clauses is found to be invalid. IANAL
