I have to sign an Arbitration Agreement & Class Action Waiver... Thank fuck I have a phone interview today because that is some straight up bullshit.

My favorite clause:

Except as provided herein, arbitration shall be the sole, exclusive, and final remedy with respect to Covered Claims. Except as otherwise required by law, neither you nor will be permitted to pursue court action regarding any Covered Claim and both you and
are waiving any right to a jury trial for any Covered Claim. This Agreement shall remain applicable even if you are no longer employed by at the time the procedures are utilized so long as the dispute is a Covered Claim.

Anyway, hope Oppo is having a good day. Have a set of what I think is some of the best pictures I’ve ever taken.

She was such a fucking Ham, I wish I could remember what they called her.

Edit: I’d be curious what our resident Labor Attorney @ImmoralMinority would think of these things. Purely academical of course, no actual legal advise assumed or implied.

I’d probably forget to sign that...  There’s a reason they’re trying to get you to sign that, and it’s probably not because they’re a fine, upstanding employer.

“Covered Claim” - is this in relation to your health insurance?

I wonder if it’s even legal.

Scary any way you slice it.

Yeah, they’re not a fine upstanding employer and I know full well what they can do. Hence why I’m getting the fuck out.

Believe so, we have pretty fantastic health insurance which is the only nice thing this place does for us. You are correct, it’s time to move on because this shit isn’t cool.

That explains a lot, sadly. And in my experience, you’re treated like a 2nd class citizen  in any law firm/consulting firm if you’re not a lawyer/consultant.

More power to you if you can find an employer not making you sign such a thing. It is very common in my experience here in the US. I dislike it given the known outcomes of arbitration unevenly favoring employers. But that is why they require it, when they have the power to demand it.
