but I bet it does and they just didn't read it

Actually, in my case, it’s true.

I had three terms removed from my contract that I didn’t like - initialed by both me and our CFO/Legal Counsel, and further annotated at the end of the contract before we both signed.

She told me at the time that I was the first person to ask for this in the 15 years she’d been there.

Way back in the 1990s in the UK I refused to sign a contract that had terms I saw as being illegal (pertaining to holiday/PTO).

The three directors finally agreed to remove the terms (after wasting 2 months on it) the same day I turned in my notice to start a new job paying £6K more without dumb requirements in the contract!
