       @jalefkowit a long time ago at my wife's first job she told me one day she was feeling super burned out. Many of her colleagues had already left the company. She was straddled with a lot of their work. She was ready to quit, but as a new grad she needed the money. I coached her into telling her boss she's burned out and needed to switch to part-time or quit. They let her switch to a 20 hour/week schedule.Salary was never negotiated. She was paid full-time on 20 hours a week for years.

       @jalefkowit almost every place I've worked has had one of these clauses and I've never heard of a single case of it being actually used, even in a few rare cases where employee projects outside of work became a point of contention. I get the feeling that the clauses are a sort of legal incantation or meme, where it's only there because other orgs do it ("it's standard boilerplate") and not because they're useful or fair.

       @gsuberland @jalefkowit "If you're not gonna use it, then remove it from the contract"
