      NDA’s are basically financial terrorism in their current state; not the competition enabler and anti-espionage tool they’re made out to be.

      They basically equal the threat of “You aren’t allowed to tell the truth about any unethical, immoral, or criminal actions you witness or engage in under threat of financial destruction by a corporate legal team”

      The NDA obviously doesn’t state it for criminal actions, but either way it results in a chilling effect on the whistleblowing of all suspected criminal actions.

        The last job I had one at, I played dumb and never signed it. But since I ended to leaving after 4 months I’m not sure what would’ve happened in the long run. I think I might have gotten away with it because he never asked about it and I still got healthcare and cobra after quitting.

          I got threatened with an NDA once after a freelancing job went bad and I was like, “You mean the one you told me you’d send 4 months ago but never did? Hmm yeah just pay me the money you owe me and we don’t have to talk any more.”

          I got the money, but fuck them.

    Some of these canvassers didn’t even know what they were signing up for. Many of them were driven around in the back of U-Haul vans without seatbelts. Pretty sad all around

    recruits weren’t informed until after signing the contract, complete with a nondisclosure agreement, it was a Musk-backed GOP canvass for Trump.

    Most campaigns attract volunteers who believe in the canidate, others hide who they are until contracts are signed.

    Holy shit. I think they tried to talk to me today. The speed at which NO THANK YOU GOODBYE came out of my mouth surprised even me.
