It is common practice for companies to offer this if they have something to hide.
- htrp 4y agoits common practice in general to offer anywhere between 2-4 months for redundancies, the non-disparagment clauses are tacked on to make sure you can't grind an axe with your now ex-employer
- fakethenews2022 4y agoYou limited it to redundancies. I didn't. I have seen it tried in a situation where a manager called an employee a racial slur. The employee sued and the company settled. Too bad for the company the employee had an email where the racial slur was used. You may not hear about it because it is kept hush hush in Silicon Valley. Something similar happened to me. A manager said that a certain gender wasn't liked around here. When they laid me off, they gave me an unusually generous package and asked for a signature.
- ska 4y agoIt is pretty common practice for companies to offer this for layoffs, period. The discussion can start from the point of view of wanting the laid off employees to have a soft landing, and the lawyers push for especially non-disparagement and tightening up NDA.
- fakethenews2022 4y agoI didn't limit it to layoffs. You did.
- ska 4y agoFair enough, but it is also standard practice in any settlement.
