| Feb 22, 2019 at 15:53 | comment | added | Smitty | @DavidRicherby Thanks for jumping in. You got it right.. this particular answer made a few arguments and I disagreed with all of them (pretty strongly actually).. I tend to get a little verbose in my writing and hit the character limit which makes me go back and edit out some clarity...sometimes it doesnt work out so well... Blrfl's answer didnt even exist when I wrote my comment and the OP question was about a "new contract"... | |
| Feb 21, 2019 at 12:33 | comment | added | David Richerby | @Blrfl I think Smitty meant to write "on a few counts" (i.e., for a few reasons), rather than "on a few accounts". As for the answer, the first sentence is "I would have no trouble signing the letter", which is pretty close to a recommendation to sign. | |
| Feb 21, 2019 at 11:55 | comment | added | Blrfl | @Smitty It would be considered a good thing to comment specifically on how each answer you downvoted could be improved. If my answer was among them, I'd suggest re-reading it, because it doesn't recommend signing the letter, and the question isn't about the contract. | |
| Feb 21, 2019 at 9:14 | comment | added | Fabio says Reinstate Monica | You haven't really understood the issue: yes, it is fraud, but the OP would never be able to prove it, because the employer will either deny the existence of this paper or show it only after it's been filled in, making it look like it was perfectly legal. And "ask for a copy", seriously? | |
| Feb 21, 2019 at 3:18 | comment | added | Xen2050 | "Sign it. And ask for a copy." yeah, I'm sure they'll send you one, months later, after it's been backdated and you've already resigned 2 weeks ago | |
