9. That's beyond insanity

The intention of these kinds of agreements has (had) always been to protect companies from having their executives spill secrets in exchange for big payoffs. Again, they usually aren't that difficult to defeat, but you need to be able to hire an attorney to help you through the process. That's easy enough to do if you're a company exec, but not so much if you're a camp counselor. This shift seems designed to do nothing less than enslave. Sick, sick, sick. And infuriating. Most of the work I do is at higher levels, so seeing this creep in at hourly/low level/service jobs is stunning.
