I haven't followed all the postings in this thread, so I hope this isn't
a repeat...

     A friend of mine recently interviewed with Radio Shack in the Puget
Sound area.  Aside from a very rigid dress/appearance code, what caught
his eye was the "intellectual property" clause in the employment
agreement.  Unfortunately, he didn't escape with a copy :-(

     It appears that Tandy/Radio Shack lays claim to anything you may
develop, even on your own time, that may be in any way related to your
employment at Radio Shack.  It was phrased as "For instance, if you get
an idea for a computer game, and write and sell it, Tandy claims the
rights to it, because you got the idea for it here."  Sounds like it
goes far beyond normal employment agreements.

     He asked the interviewer, "I'm also a photographer.  Does that mean
if I photograph a nude wearing a pair of RS headphones, RS will claim
the rights to the picture?" They replied, "No, but if you do ad
photographs for another electronics store, you might hear from our
attorneys."

     Anyone out there go through the interview process?  Might be fun
for someone to do it, knowing what it's all about.  Is it legal to
split with a copy of the agreement?
