Gregory's Server@fesshole I had a similar clause in a redundancy payoff and was advised that saying something like what the OP says could be classed as a breach of the clause as you are inferring negative comments about the company.

@NilaJones @fesshole They had a law degree and it was about 10 years ago so that’s probably my error 😉  @FortiterGames @fesshole you can be less specific. "my lawyer advised me to not answer that question after reviewing my contract"  @FortiterGames Ah. In the US, the truth shall be sufficient defense against all defamation claims. UK & Europe have defamation laws more favorable to the supposedly injured party. Having just been let go, it's likely I'd get a bit snarky about it. "How much would you reduce my package if we took this out? Could I get more if I were required to say positive things whenever asked?"  @FortiterGames @fesshole Advised by them, or by someone who was being paid to give you legal advice in your own best interest rather than theirs? @FortiterGames @fesshole Fair enough. As I suspect you know, never take your opposition's words as legal advice for yourself! |

If the person advising you doesn't know the difference between implying and inferring, I wouldn't worry about their advice
