No, you are saying you don't want to be unemployed and starve on the streets.
> Good luck in life but those of us who stand by our word want nothing to do with you.
Standing by your word to other human beings is of course a commendable quality, standing by your word to corporations, not so much.
- throwaway-1209 9y agoNo one in our industry will "starve on the streets" in the foreseeable future. They may have to take a smaller paycheck with a contract that doesn't have the clauses they don't like, but let's not engage in histrionics here. And I agree with the parent, your choice of language is inappropriate and tiresome. You're posting to a forum read by literally thousands of people you're calling "bootlickers". Not smart.
- kmicklas 9y agoAs I said, signing such a contract doesn't make you a bootlicker. (I have signed such a contract myself.) But I can't for the life of me understand why people are feeling bad for working on side projects and not wanting to have the rights signed over to their corporate overlords. That's just a depressing ethical framework to live your life by. (Obviously I'm not talking about the Lewandowski espionage type case.)
