You realize you can redline the default IP assignment clauses, right? It should never have been normalized that an employer gets blanket claim to all mental output on your part. Especially things done in your off hours on equipment the company doesn't own.

It's just another example of how contract law, lawyers, and legal fictions represent a bottom up funnel of value extraction from the populace in which they exist. Can't even just work and get paid without some arsehole driving/hiding behind a legal fiction strip mining you for all the law will let them get away with.
