Our employer has given us this document to sign in return for a dollar. [followed by the agreement] Just be happy they gave you a dollar!!!!! I remember being asked to sign something similar one or two companies ago (it gets confusing when you move from Bell Laboratories to American Bell Inc. to AT&T Information Systems without leaving your office) without being promised any monetary compensation. Does this mean that our agreement was not legally binding? I am disturbed by some of the wording of these agreements. I wonder what this means about one of the (former?) employees in my building who was arrested for (allegedly (put in to please the legal types in this group)) doing some spying for the chinese in his spare time. He did not have access to our sensitive information, but was getting "military technology" from elsewhere. Does ATTIS own any such information that he gathered? From the way such documents are written, maybe they do!!!!! -- -=> Avi E. Gross @ AT&T Information Systems Laboratories (201) 576-6241 suggested paths: [ihnp4, allegra, cbosg, hogpc, ...]!pegasus!avi
