Reply to comment by dantodd in LPT never make an argument based on logic with someone who thinks squeezing the air out of a 2liter bottle keeps the drink from going flat. by dantodd
I never said that. First paragraph I said that someone who doesn’t know the physics behind soda fizz isn’t illogical (like you said in your post). My second paragraph I shared a personal experience regarding the difference between my knowledge and the knowledge my blue collar family has, and that both knowledge sets are unique and valuable.

It seems incredibly unlikely that a company would rescind an offer for politely asking to review any documents in advance. If you ask politely and they refuse, that might be a sign you didn’t want to work there anyway.
Your example doesn’t really apply here because those employees refused to follow company guidelines. The post is not telling you to refuse, it’s saying to ask to review them.

Why would you assume that someone who lacks the logical ability to understand partial pressure is blue collar? I suspect the person with the bias here is you. Ignorance is nothing to be ashamed of but willfully refusing the learn.... there the problem.
In fact, the person who inspired this has a college degree and a white collar job that requires a relatively high degree of both interpersonal communication skills and more than basic math and business accounting skills. In fact, I suspect, though do not know for certain, that he has attended business school and may even have obtained an MBA.

I learned to juggle in my early twenties and part of that skill is reaching for where the ball will be not where it is, I can't remember the last time something I dropped actually reached the floor.

I don't even disagree with you that companies should have to disclose those documents upfront before the hiring process. However the advice you're giving is not good advice. It hinders someone's opportunity for employment. If HR thinks you're being difficult with them they will just find someone else and you lose your opportunity.
I work in IT and we bought another company. During the merge we had people being difficult with people installing new MFA software on their devices because of data privacy rights concerns. They were claiming that they weren't going to install it because it violates their data Privacy rights. The companies response > There's the door. Companies don't play around in America.
If you ask HR for the paperwork so your lawyer can review them before signing I can assure you that you won't need to worry about it anymore anyways.

Depends what is causing the dandruff. You need to see a dermatologist. If seborrheic dermatitis, ketoconazole shampoo works really well.

Reply to LPT - As a meddling professor, I urge my students to try making dinner for a date. It is amazing to see the goodwill that is created by a jar of pasta sauce and some noodles. by the_undertow
Should probably recommend making pasta with the pasta sauce. Noodles (Asian) and pasta (Italian) are similar but not interchangeable.
I have never had noodles and pasta sauce though; maybe you're on to something!

Use it to fill gap between driver car seat and the middle panel. No more phone/items dropping in the gap.

Jeez. I come from food service and I I have always tipped drivers 20%. But after seeing your attitude, I’m done with that nonsense. The heck is wrong with you.

It’s weird how much the whole point of this post has just gone over your head.
Yes, don’t sign a contract if you plan to break it. Yes, feel free to fight your non compete clause in court. Those are both valid points.
But you are missing the biggest point. You might not care, but someone else might not want to sign those agreements. That’s valid yes? You shouldn’t feel forced to work for a particular employer, and it’s your right to go somewhere else. However, if you resign from your job without seeing those contracts, you might feel forced to work for that employer because you have bills to pay and a family to support. It’s better to see them before you resign.
YOU might think it’s moot, and not worth worrying about, but there are many people that this would apply to. If the advice doesn’t fit you, ignore it. It doesn’t change the fact that this can be good advice for some people.
