Just ask politely what the next steps are and offer those three suggestions. | |

I mean unless they don't have a copy of the correct contract because it's a new position or something, but absolutely do not sign it in its current state. Simply ask them to forward you the correct contract which you will read over, sign and send back to them. | |

I recognize that I may need to work after-hours in some situations regardless, but the way the agreement says 1 year commitment to the "afterhours team" seems to imply more than just working the occassional after-hours | |

The problem is that manager could leave, and a future manager would go by the signed document, not the verbal understandings. You can ask them to strike out and initial the offending clause, then send you the modified contract to sign. | |
| Jan 25, 2018 at 1:18 | comment | added | Niahc | The implication is when I asked for clarification, and they admitted it is not the right contract but made no indication that it was a mistake or that they would get me the correct version. They mentioned they sent me this one because they "were in a rush", which implies to me they knew they were sending the wrong one and expect me to sign it anyway | |
