A while back we had a discussion about contract terms, particularly this one: "<X> may terminate for convenience...." At the time my wife was on a contract with a one-hour termination clause. She didn't think much of it at the time she took the contract, but signed anyway. Yesterday she invoked the clause. She resigned, and left the place one hour later. What's more, she enjoyed doing it. Apparently the management were somewhat taken aback. It hadn't occurred to them that an employee might take advantage of a clause that was put there for the convenience of management.
