Fastening, Joining & Assembly

I have always signed those with "Mickey Mouse". Watch the HR people pick them up look at them and then put the paper in my file. They never have checked it for the right name. lol

Brilliant idea ... I will also do so...

I often wondered about that, as far as a legal stand point which at best would be weak, it would be embarressing to be caught with it.

At one company I refused to sign it be cause thier attorney made it. I because it stated I would basically give up what I would have brought to the company that was my IP from my business.

I read somewhere that the company has to let you know to have your attorney look at it and not just you, but I can't remember

I think it comes down to whether the company you are hiring to really wants your expertise. If they do you should bargain not to sign the agreement.

They tried to push things through as a confidentiality agreement, which allot of people just sign, But when read through it also could be interpreted that your existing ideas you bring to the company would be turned over to them. That I refused right to the end when they left me go. After which they hired me as a consultant.

I call it theft by deception (on the part of the company)!
