Many times I have had clients asking to include outrageous, unenforceable clauses in employment/consulting contracts. I advise that if the worker does not push back they are either desperate, unsophisticated or think you are full of shit and you do not want to be offering those people jobs anyways. Plus if they did ever want to litigate any part of the contract the judge will think you are an asshole and may decide any issue of credibility against you. 2 years in North America for a non-management worker is incredibly stringent and would not have a chance in hell of surviving in Canada. Employment litigation is horrible for the worker but I like that we at least have loser-pays costs awards here.
