Personal Protocol: Read before Inking A Deal

There are so many types of people in this world. However, there are only two sides to be vigilant in inking a deal: no need to read or read the contract. I am not sure if some applicants are too lazy to read the contract and ink the deal of employment contract. For them, they need a job. Of course, that’s the main goal. On the other hand, they should know what is written in the paper before sliding the pen to affix its signature. There is no turning back once it was being done.

Case 1

A friend of mine asked to refer her to the online teaching site that I am working with. At first, she was so overwhelmed and given the tips to make it as an online Home-Based Teacher. She enjoyed teaching the students. However, she is against the contract being signed.

Case 2

It is really convenient to teaching online at home. There are no worries of waking up so early to deal with the traffic going to the working place. She was being oriented by the company about the standard rules and regulations that need to be followed. I am not sure if she’s sleeping during the orientation and eager to ink the deal of contact. After a few months, she was given some penalties for being absent in her classes.

Case 3

The employee tried her best to follow the rules and regulations of a company. Due to her negligence, she can’t admit her mistakes. The company gave her appropriate sanctions based on the contract signed. It is always by the book. Her course of action is to be tactless and rant in social media.

Case 4

Some companies’ staff should read the contract. There are some instances that they overview the Guidelines and Policies of the company. A human resource was being questioned about the salary scheme. The human resource rejected the disagreement and eventually, he or she not aware of the changes in the guideline.

There are so many cases that people whined about his or her company. The only truth is that they didn’t read their contract. Thus, the applicants should take the time to read the contract’s details. It is always based on the written agreement and they should read in between the lines. They should accept the consequences and review the contract for a couple of times before complaining about it.

  1. There is an old saying that goes something like, “Do not make a decision when you’re hungry”. Indeed feelings, haste, urgency or inaccuracy often make people careless or negligent. It’s also like the phenomenon of free download software that often gives a ride for other software which then can be trouble if we are not careful in reading and agreeing to the terms and conditions listed on the install process.

    • I agree. There are times that we cannot blame some people who are in desperation. I had seen some people who take the job without thinking the bad circumstances. For them, they wanted to survive and be a provider for their family.
