One who understands the power of nondisclosure agreements.
You might find it surprising that an executive signed a long-lasting non-disparagement agreement, but obviously they wouldn't have got the job otherwise. These are a very real problem. Especially the use of NDAs to cover up gross misconduct.
(a particularly egregious example: Neil Gaiman!)
- chinathrow 5mo agoI understand that, but the book is out already.
- pjc50 5mo agoWe could do with establishing whether that's covered by the injunction; the article also says that _Hay_ stopped selling it for the same reason. People are probably too young to remember the "Spycatcher" fiasco: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spycatcher https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spycatcher
- cowboylowrez 5mo agohopefully folks won't share copies of this book online or anything! that would suck!
- chinathrow 5mo agoI still can order this book where I live though.
