May 18, 2022 at 17:05 | comment | added | J... | @GregoryCurrie Lawyers don't generally leave interpretations to the vague semantics of English dictionaries. "Accept" will have only one meaning in the context of a contract and you cannot barter any substitute meaning that pleases you, regardless of whether it's a broadly acceptable interpretation in standard English. | |
May 18, 2022 at 1:51 | comment | added | Harper - Reinstate Monica | Raising objections will be prejudicial if you have a future violation on a matter you objected to. For instance, suppose Joe complains about a policy that workers must be available on Saturdays unless they have a religious reason (unspoken: half the workforce is Jewish, so the company needs the Gentiles to cover on Shabbas)... and then Joe does something that might be read as antisemitic... then the earlier statement will tip the scales against Joe. | |
May 16, 2022 at 8:31 | comment | added | Gregory Currie | @DJClayworth "Accept" can also mean recognize. For example: "I accept that that is your Code of Conduct". | |
May 16, 2022 at 5:44 | comment | added | Tim | @DJClayworth it might, but if OP then doesn’t abide by them, they’ll be fired. They’ve acknowledged that that’s fine. There’s no difference between agreeing to something with the knowledge you won’t abide, and agreeing to something and then changing your mind / accidentally not abiding (from a consequences point of view). | |
May 16, 2022 at 2:35 | comment | added | DJClayworth | "Accept" does not just mean read and understand. It also means you agree to abide by them. | |
