What about when the forever-non-disparaging clause is in the employment contract itself? And what value does it have that the contract has a stamp "Confidential" on all pages? Would talking about it here be forbidden?

I probably wouldn't talk about any of those reasons in most situations. People who leave usually negociate or talk up before they leave. If you need the exit interview, then your management is seriously unable to hear. In which case th

How can they distinguish personal vs pro servers? They have to inspect the contents, which to me seems related to net neutrality. The comparison should rather be "Do you get upset at buffets when they don't let you have the main d

It is similar to any post-war country chasing the people who collaborated. In a sense, justice has to be made; in the other, the war courts usually assign surprising low penalties. The reason is, once the war is won, there's only reven

I know one other offense which is both breaking an american company contract, breaking american law, and making you lose any argument about good faith. Does that make someone at risk? It's using a false name of facebook.

This is an extremely talented commercial suggestion: On one side, as a European, I would NOT support it; and on the other, it looks like a very, very legitimate bill ("why would anyone oppose!?"). Good job for the PR people behind

That's even assuming the 4chan story is real. Anyone who wwants to spread distrust about police could write it too, and it would be easier than brute-forcing the SD card.
