This isn't solely a Silicon Valley thing. An NYC startup I worked for for six months 15 years ago required me to sign a nondisparagement agreement when I realized that the company was going nowhere (the carrot was that I kept the signing bonus they lured me with).
I didn't catch that there was no time period specified.
Every year I receive a terse letter from their law firm reminding me of my obligations under the non–disparagement clause.
