@glassbottommeg @lritter well, recruiters and companies have to roll with it, and they do. Granted it only happened a few times and it mostly pertained clauses that illegally infringe on my right to seek professional consultation by a solicitor before signing. Cuz I don't sign shit if I'm being hindered from seeking legal advice beforehand out of principle.

@kkarhan @glassbottommeg @lritter one of my things i always say is if i cant see what im signing i aint signing and if i cant talk to a legal prof you gone.

@kkarhan @glassbottommeg @lritter I don't get it. Did an employer really make you sign such an NDA or do you just pretend you did to get out of signing other employers NDAs?

@fathermcgruder @glassbottommeg @lritter well, I did sign NDAs that do also cover the NDA itself as well as the involved parties. So I'm really not at liberty to speak about it unless forced via a written order signed by a judge in my juristiction that specifically names all signing parties and the NDA but by that time they'll already know everything about it already and thus only can seek confirmation.

@lritter The FSF should make freedom-preserving NDAs since they say stuff against them (which is one of the few things they say/do that I agree with).

@lritter Checks notes; ah yes, that'd give you an "Apologies, but we have decided to move along with other candidates"

@lritter I gave up a really solid job offer once because between the NDA and no-compete agreement I'd have to sign I would basically put myself out of a career field if I quit the job and wanted to work for anybody else locally; I practically would have had to move states. That being said I've signed them and worked with them before. There are instances where it is very much needed because people can get hurt or killed if that info is not a millstone hung round the neck of those who manage it. |
@lritter I literally had that discussion...
And yes, that's real...
