2003-09-22 Today has not been such a great day. See, there's a part of the whole quitting-the-sucky-job story that I haven't mentioned here for a variety of reasons I don't have the energy right now to explain. And I'm sure that you'll all be a bit happier if I don't go into it. On Friday when I went to pick up my cheque and found out I was being docked, I mentioned that it never states anywhere in the contract that I have to give any kind of notice. I also made the mistake of mentioning that I have a copy of one of the pages of the contract at home. So one of the assholes said that since I signed a "Nondisclosure" agreement on another contract, that I'm not allowed to bring anything home with me and therefore, if I decided to take action against them about being docked then they'd sue me in civil court for disobeying the contract. Now, I don't remember it being terribly specific. I don't remember it saying that I cannot bring home a copy of a contract that I signed. According to a few lawyers I spoke to over the phone today, under normal circumstances (and most likely in this one), I would be allowed to have such a contract. A non-disclosure clause is usually for contracts between the company and a client or other strictly company info that I could give to their competition. But the problem is that I don't remember 100% whether it specifically included contracts in that clause. I think that I would have since I emailed to myself the page I do have (sadly not the one with the said clause) on Monday after signing the papers on Friday. I would think, Oh yeah, not allowed to take this stuff home. What if I'm wrong? What if I go ahead with the Normes du travail about being docked and they get pissed off and take me to court, show the judge the contract and then I lose and have to pay all kinds of money? I don't want to just give up on getting my money because a) I need that $70 and b) of principle. They're trying to intimidate me so much that I won't fight for my own rights. Anyway, I got the number for a lawyer at the YWCA where you pay 5 bucks for 30 minutes so that hopefully I'll be able to get more information. If possible, I'd like to stop by the stupid company to take a look at the contract so that I can tell the lawyer exactly what it says. But I don't know if they're going to allow that. I just want this whole mess to go away. Anyone want to give me $70 so that I don't have to fight with these assholes ever again? 'Cause I think I'd really be willing to give up principle if I could just have that money.
