My last job before retirement I had a clause that after X time all the design (electronics, programming, writing) would be non-exclusive and only at that duration the Employer had exclusive. Also 1% royalty on sales using the technology.
I argued that any work done for them was based on developing existing tech and my years of experience and training. Most employers treat creative employees like serfs. Also the immoral attempt to control your work after leaving.
Now I write fiction.
