We had people refuse to sign after being acquired by IBM. They no longer work with us.

- jacquesm 11y agoYour loss.
- johnward 11y agoI agree. I almost didn't sign but I also couldn't afford to go without a job. Two years later I'm trying to figure out exactly what I signed because I believe it was very limiting.
- jacquesm 11y agoYou can simply ask HR for a copy of your employment contract.
- johnward 11y agoJust did that.
- johnward 11y agoHR is unable to produce it...
- jacquesm 11y agoThat's a weird situation to be in. If they can't reproduce it now they may not be able to produce it at all effectively they've just said they lost your contract which for any self respecting HR department is an absolute failure in their duty. Imagine, if they don't have it, what could have possibly happened to it? Of does 'unable to produce' translate to 'unwilling to produce'?
- johnward 11y agoSo far they told me that I should have a copy. My assumption is that they can't actually find it. Found a generic copy from around the same time period that should be similar.
- tptacek 11y agoDirect refusal to sign will probably never work, which is why I didn't suggest that.
