  An agency just email me an employment agreement to sign with two unusual
clauses:

  1.)  I agree to pay the agency $2000 if I sign the agreement and then
change my mind and  do not show up to start work.

  2.)  I agree to pay the agency $2000 if I leave the contract job before it
is scheduled to be completed.

  Have you had any experiences with employment agreement clauses like such?
Thoughts?

Not for 30-odd years when it was typical for agencies to attempt to collect
a "placement fee" for finding you a job.

Ran like hell then, and would do the same now.
