A verbal contract isn't worth the paper it's written on.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It is not worth the paper it is written on unless it is backed by the kind of force that will make the other side consider the penalties too heavy to break the agreement.
I don't pitch for contracts.
Maybe I'm old-school, but I always thought you honor a contract.
Of course a politician's promise isn't worth the paper it's written on.
One of the advantages of not having a record contract is that you can make your own mistakes, you don't need somebody else to organize them for you.
A memorandum is written not to inform the reader but to protect the writer.
That's what happens in the world. You get offered superior contracts.
If you have poor management that's not doing the right job, you end up with unions filling the void and... page after page of work rules and thicker and thicker contracts.
Until the contract is signed, nothing is real.
My contract with my teachers is fair, and is two pages. The union contract is 200 pages. You cannot manage your business when you cannot make any decision without going back to 200 pages worth of stuff.
