This is HUGE.

"The National Labor Relations Board ruled Tuesday that employers can no longer demand laid-off employees avoid publicly disparaging the company as part of their severance agreements, nor can they stop affected employees from disclosing the terms of their exit packages. Doing so, the federal agency determined, would be a violation of the laid-off employees’ rights under the National Labor Relations Act."

Companies Can’t Ask You to Shut up to Receive Severance, NLRB Rules

The board reverses two previous decisions that held that such severance agreements were lawful. Limits on free speech have become increasingly common aspect of many severance agreements.

@unicorndeburgh There’s nothing to stop others who see that to decide they’d rather not work with someone who does this. They don’t want to be the next target. That’s just common sense.
