I came across an interesting posting today. Thinking about it I would probably have scanned the original contract myself and commented on a copy, but then again, this was given at a stage for review, not of completion so I would probably have expected a fresh copy to be signed.

That said, it is a fairly interesting read that can be found at thedailywtf.com

It all began on the first interview, the moment I entered their building. I was asked to sign a four-page Non-Disclosure Agreement and was sternly warned that no recording devices of any kind were allowed in the building. It didn't seem that unheard of, so I assured them that I had no intention of recording the interview and signed the agreement, thereby swearing on my life that I would never describe to another living soul what I saw on the premises that day. To this day, I cannot reveal which motivational poster I saw framed in the only room I was allowed to see: the conference room off the entrance.

At the end of the second interview they handed me a 14 page contract, a mere review copy of their standard Employee Agreement.....Another week passed and I was back in their conference room, ready to discuss the Employee Agreement.....Before I could finish the question, the VP suddenly froze and starred stunned by my copy of their Sacred Contract.

He saw my pencil marks on the page, where I underlined the two conflicting sections. He snatched the document out of my hand and glared at the pencil markings. He flipped from page and to page, and to his disgust he found MORE PENCIL MARKS! Not just in the margins, but on the words themselves! Pencil marks! There were ugly questions marks, lines, arrows, and circles around words; it was appalling to him! He looked up from the paper and gave me stare of utter sadness and betrayal.

"You ... altered The Contract" he mumbled.
