Easy to say that if there is food already on your table.

I can't believe it's controversial to say you should read a contract before you sign it.

When most contracts are full of legalise, hundreds of pages long, and are required to be signed off on as quickly as possible so that you can get the job you may have already quit your previous one for, reading and understanding every word isn't always possible.

I've never seen an employment contact that complex and I've worked tons of contact gigs over my career, and been the hiring senior engineer on multiple others. They are not like that at all.
