My employer added a clause in my last NDA stating that I was prohibited from saying anything "disparaging" about the company. Now when anyone asks about job postings I tell them, "I'm contractually obligated not to say anything disparaging about them." None have ever applied.

in reply to Fesshole 𧻠• • •That is far, far more damaging to them than anything disparaging you could say. And saying anything disparaging would make you look like a spiteful, bitter nut job.
This is very good. They shot themselves in the foot π€£ priceless.

in reply to Fesshole 𧻠• • •the last job I left they offered to pay me two weeks salary if I signed a non disparagement agreement.
At that moment, I told them to check GlassDoor because I had already left my disparaging review of the company.
A friend of mine stayed in another year and said that they were unable to hire anybody to replace me because of my very honest GlassDoor review.

in reply to Fesshole 𧻠• • •In Germany, it's vice versa β employees have a right for an employer's reference when they leave their job, and employers are not allowed to put anything negative into it.
The effect is that there is a catalog of positive phrases that have negative meanings -- classic example is, "they endeavored to meet requirements", which translates as "they never once actually met the requirements". Or, "all colleagues appreciated their warm nature" -- "they had sex with all of them".

"our company is an industry leader in high turnover rates"
"Our company is a competitive investment; we use over 30 employment productivity metrics to ensure employees do not dilly dally with things like 'lives' and 'families'"

in reply to Fesshole 𧻠• • •I crossed out the non-disparagement clause in the SelectGroup consulting contract for a startup I was being considered for. What got their attorney's attention was me crossing out the Arbitration Agreement. In 2015, that was totally new to contracts in the SF/Bay area. I argued that my job is to tell a company I was working for that they had Rectocranial Inversion if they started doing stupid things and they kept it in.
I didn't get the Arbitration Clause removed and ended up working for the startup anyway. I figured if I worked for them again, I'd bail if they tried that again. Turns out The Select Group isn't very good at supporting their contractors and f-s around with contracts.
