The company asked all employees to sign a confidentiality agreement, which was twenty pages long.


No one read it, and everyone signed it.
After a programmer left, he discovered that the agreement stated: "Within three years after leaving, you shall not engage in work related to the same industry."
He asked HR, "Isn't this illegal?"
HR said, "Legal or not, that's another matter. You sign first, and we'll treat it as valid."
He didn't take it seriously and went to work for a competitor.
The original company sued him, claiming damages of five million yuan.
