>According to legal experts who have litigated these cases, the amount of debt levied on workers is often conjured up by employers once an employee leaves, rather than being stipulated in the contract.
If this is the state of US contract law, how can you do business there? Surely this is bullshit? If it really is this bad, and the judges don't understand why it's a problem, then why is there a US economy?
If it is real, I assume it's literally only applied against poor people? I don't have to fear this in business contracts when I start a company?
If a random company decide they want you specifically to lose hundreds of thousands of dollars, they can send their legal team after you, and you will end up spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on legal defense. You'll probably win in the end, and the company will say "our bad, lol", and that will be the end of it.
