They probably don't believe in that, though-most people don't- so maybe there's something like... 'we own the enneagrammatic configuration of your body, as well as your genetic material'.
The contract won't let you move off of it until you sign, so you're locked into it as your implant's main process. It's really hard to serve human hamburger through a partially opaque surface, so everything in your vision is tinted blue and written over with text as you cook for customers and accept their money. It's disorienting, but you brute-force through it. The customers are as belligerent and selfish as always, but you don't care. You have weightier ideas on your mind.
Hesitation is a sign of noncompliance, though you can always fall back on wanting to understand the contract completely as a defense for taking so long to read it. After all, this is your life now- you don't want to accidentally anger them by being a bad employee. It does become more suspicious the longer you wait, and you get the impression taking this long to accept an 'obvious' contract might have attracted their attention.
After hours, you finally find something that qualifies as just ambiguous enough to make a claim against your brain.
<span class="mu-b">Prematurely terminating your employment through violation of this contract will result in your ceding control of your implant as well as the neural network tied to it to the Company.</span>
<span class="mu-b">Grounds for terminating your employment include but are not limited to:</span>
<span class="mu-b">Failing to comply with company policy in writing or contradicting a sworn statement (such as through digital signature) provided to the Company.</span>
<span class="mu-b">Possessing materials, products, information, or objects that go against company policy...</span>
A quick five-minute-verification confirms to you a minor loophole: If you remove the implant, the contract has no grounds to keep the rest of you. For you, though, that might not be an option, because this thing was practically grown into you. It would be like tearing off your own jaw, if not worse. Besides, the 'not limited to' means they might retroactively try to claim your brain if you remove it: After all, a loyal employee would have no need to do something like that, right?
