The article mentions needing to sign some paperwork about equity in passing, but I think being asked to sign new paperwork (a new IP agreement, etc.) is a sign all on its own. Like the focus on security, it is suspicious if it happens without any other motivating reason.
- kohbo 3y agoOne should be careful not to confuse an unknown reason with the non-existence of a reason. One of my prior companies suddenly became a target for digital espionage and I only knew about it happening at all because I worked closely with our security team. Others in the company had no idea except that security policies were suddenly changing.
