> We're removing nondisparagement clauses from our standard departure paperwork

How would you interpret this part?

> and we're releasing former employees from existing nondisparagement obligations unless the nondisparagement provision was mutual.

This is interesting - was it mutual for most people?




> We're removing nondisparagement clauses from our standard departure paperwork

"We're replacing them with even more draconian terms that are not technically nondisparagement clauses"

> and we're releasing former employees from existing nondisparagement obligations unless the nondisparagement provision was mutual.

"We offered some employees $1 in exchange for signing up to the nondisparagement clause, which technically makes it a binding contract because there was an exchange of value."
