I am sort of confused how NDA and such agreements employees sign would allow for an employee to post such an article without being sued by Microsoft?

- justinclift 7mo agoIf they can swing it as legit whistleblowing somehow, they might be ok.
- axelriet 7mo agoInteresting point. Time will tell.
- rk06 7mo agoMost likely, the author was let go in mass layoff, and they forgot about NDA.
- decimalenough 7mo agoNDAs are usually signed when you join the company, not leave it. Signing a non-disparagement agreement is often a condition for receiving severance, although I'm not sure what MSFT's policy on this is.
- HighGoldstein 7mo agoWild guess, touching this with a 10-foot pole risks validating his claims. If they sue for breach of NDA, it means his claims are factually correct, and if they sue for libel and it goes to court, they may be forced to submit documents they don't want to.
