Years ago I got a job at a reputable and storied company. The employment contract said I agreed to abide by the Employee Handbook. But I could only read said handbook after I signed the contract, which made no sense.

I told them I couldn’t sign. They asked why not? I said because I can’t agree to something without knowing what I’m signing up for.

After a delay they sorted it out, but I still wondered how many people before me were shown this contract and this wasn’t challenged.
