Holy shit, I had to sign one for my current job

I've had one in previous contracts. I smirked since they aren't applicable in my country unless they are willing to pay me to vacation.

ive signed one for every job I've ever worked, I think. UK and USA, employment and contractor. And then hopped competitors and to my knowledge no one even so much as raised an eyebrow.
