&gt; Good luck. I&#x27;ve tried crossing out undesirable terms in the past at several Large Company Xs. The response is always &quot;WTF is this? Sign the contract unmodified, or there&#x27;s the door!&quot;<p>On the other hand, I had the experience as a junior employee of crossing out and initialing objectionable portions of a hiring agreement in NY and several years later having the corporation issue a new employee handbook and agreement with the passages in it. I again crossed them out and initialed it and returned the forms. I never heard a word.
