| Jul 24, 2019 at 11:54 | comment | added | Steve | @JonBentley I agree wholeheartedly that the scope of employment contracts are often invasive and draconian in nature. I've refused to sign many agreements in the past and have lost opportunities as a result. But that is the nature of employment contracts in the US and ultimately that's another question entirely. | |
| Jul 24, 2019 at 0:39 | comment | added | Jon Bentley | The employer's requests may be logical and understandable from their point of view, but that certainly doesn't make them reasonable. It is not reasonable that the scope of an employment contract should extend to activities outside of the employment hours, regardless of any benefit/cost to the employer. What next? Employers wanting to record my conversations at home to make sure I am only saying good things about them to my friends? The press coverage is about the employee, not about the employer. If it were the latter then I would agree that it is also reasonable. | |

| Jul 23, 2019 at 19:30 | comment | added | Steve | @AlanDev I noticed the edit earlier. I agree that the title didn't reflect the content of the question. But I have little doubt that it did reflect the OP's mindset and perceptions. | |
| Jul 23, 2019 at 19:27 | comment | added | deep64blue | I've suggested an edit to the title which has been accepted, it's an interesting question but the title didn't accurately reflect the content. | |
| Jul 23, 2019 at 15:00 | comment | added | Nuclear Hoagie | Agree that the question title is awfully melodramatic - both parties have the right to walk away if they can't come to a mutual agreement, and that's about it. | |
