This is bizarre. Someone hands you a contract as you're leaving a company and if you refuse to agree to whatever they dreamt up and sign the company takes back the equity you earned? That can't be legal

>>underl+dR
It might be that they agree to it initially when hired, so it doesn't matter if they sign something when they leave.

>>throwa+CR
Agreements with surprise terms that only get detailed later tend not to be very legal.

Doesn't even have to be a surprise. Pretty much startup employment agreement in existence gives the company ("at the board's sole discretion") the right to repurchase your shares upon termination of employment. OpenAI's PPUs are worth $0 until they become profitable. Guess which right they'll choose to exercise if you don't sign the NDA?

Who would accept shares as valuable if the contract said they can be repurchased from you at a price of 0$? This can't be it.
