Hello everyone,
this is my first post over here as I am going, maybe, to sign my first contract after long perm experience.
As this would be my first contract I am scrupulously reading each paragraph in order to understand if something doesn't look right and, here I noticed this part:
especially the point H seems really unfair ...basically they can quit without any notice time (just a reason) whenever they want.
From your experience, is it normal this kind of stuff in contracting?
Thanks!
