While I know the comment above appears to be suggesting keeping all IP — and I agree that's not workable — there are a number of employers that would also like to own the IP to any love notes I write my sweetheart, photographs I take of my nephew, etc.
Also I've seen some that want moral rights, which I don't think one should be required to give up, ever.
Reform is needed here. I have no qualm about signing over IP developed specifically for the company, on the company's dime. But some IP agreements get absurd about it.
