    How the fuck is it not punishable to write stuff into those contracts that contradict the law (obv. i mean this past a certain company size). Like for real.

      I don’t know what the exact agreement here is, but such things are very often not enforceable. You can’t have someone sign their rights away. You can have them sign the document, but that document will be worthless in court and will not be respected. Those are more to scare people and discourage them from suing the company.

        not enforceable

        I mean sure, but writing agreements that contradict the law, at least in some of the more egregious cases, should really be actively punishable.

        Those are more to scare people and discourage them from suing the company.

        And this is why.
