I have secured a new job beginning in January - many thanks for the encouragement of people in this community who gave me the confidence to move forward.
I am about to sign my new contract and noticed a clause that allows immediate termination if I am not "of sound mind".
Is this allowed? What constitutes "of sound mind"? Has anybody else seen this in their contracts because I have never noticed it before?
I do suffer with my mental health and have very bad anxiety, a few motor tics and some verbal ones too -
(I nearly had a diagnosis of Tourettes when I was a kid, but the psychologist wanted to wait to see if I grew out of them for some reason. I grew out of those tics but developed new ones.I do tic uncontrollably quite a lot)
- I am worried about being stigmatised at work for my mental health. Any advice? If I was fired on the basis of this clause could I fight it by complaining to ACAS?
They have the same clause in the application for citizenship of Singapore.
What exactly is the job?
It's a Junior Python Developer position?

Unless you are dealing with real flesh and blood Pythons, I don't see why the *** they would ask that question!
All jokes aside, nice job there! Pleased for you! The money should be a nice cure for anxiety!
