- dmazin 4y agoI don't think this is true. In my experience, the employer sees the non-disparagement clause as mostly unimportant[1]. The reason they compensate you is your agreement not to sue. [1] Specifically, when I have asked to remove it, they have done so without any back-and-forth and without asking for anything in return.
- rhaway84773 4y agoI’m not sure about this. In reality, there’s very little incentive for anyone to dish on their former employers other than in small private circles, which probably happens even after signing these agreements anyways. It makes you almost instantly unemployable. And even if you’re now retired, it’s almost certainly not worth the hassle it will cause. If someone has enough of a grudge to publicly complain then the suing by the company will only add to their complaint and, if anything, might be an incentive for them to publicly complain.
