Man, Americans are so weird. Someone does this in Germany, you go to court and get money. Are work contracts just a big :shrug: emoji and a dollar amount in the US?
Adding on to that, a programmer that has the value of a 400k salary is someone OP is just gonna fire at the drop of a hat for not wanting to do something outside of their job description? I think everyone should use the products they work on to some degree, but this is absurd

Employee protection is exceptionally good in Germany, and exceptionally bad in the US

It seems to me the model of e.g. Denmark is preferable: It seems to ensure even more benefits are provided for employees, but still gives employers a chance to terminate employment if it doesn鈥檛 work out, possibly because of the great safety net. Practically impossible in Germany

I kinda agree that it might be tok jard to restructure as an employer in Germany, but even in Denmark I'm pretty sure you're under no obligation to do work that wasn't specified in your contract.
