Re: Hewlett Packard

About 20 years ago when I was on a contract with HP thru an agency (some techie / engineering position), the agency contract had something about not working for clients of HP for a year.

I pointed out that probably alot of organisations, if not all, had a HP printer somewhere or other. That will mean that they are all clients of HP and I can't work pretty much anywhere for a year.

They look abit surprised when I pointed it out, so presumably nobody they ever sent to HP has pointed out this stupidity.

I signed it and was hoping that they will try to enforce it after I finished with HP.

Too bad they did not, although the next place I worked at did have a HP printer.......
