Where Chauffeurs must keep secrets silently!
From dress codes to NDAs
To the highest of standards
This is the way of the elite chauffeur fleet.

Earlier this month, a District Court judge approved a preliminary settlement of a class action brought on behalf of employees of the 2016 Trump Campaign seeking invalidation of non-disclosure agreements. The settlement certifies the class and gives them the remedy they sought: release from the NDAs plus attorneys fees and costs.

Regarding the talk of #NDAs: the presence of an NDA is of almost no informational value. They are standard practice in business meetings where any sort of new product/strategy is discussed. I've personally signed NDAs for job interviews. Many, many of these meetings end up going nowhere.

In my experience, treating NDAs as evidence of something nefarious (especially w.r.t. a business meeting) tends to be a pretty good sign you're crossing over into conspiracy theory territory.

"If they're receiving financial compensation, I take that back."

Given what a big part #NDAs have played in the speculation and in verifiable statements, what do you think the chance of anyone being told exactly how much @Gargron is getting paid will be?

Less that zero chance?

I'd put hard money down on *that* likelihood

@msh
I guess you can't tell any stories about bad personal experiences with NDAs, alas. Do big software companies generally require #NDAs to do business with them?

Another ripple from #MeToo

Tomorrow the UK Legal Services Board (an independent regulator) is launching an inquiry into the inclusion of #NDAs (gagging clauses) in legal settlements to assess whether voluntary undertakings to stop misuse of NDAs in areas from #University complaints to #sexualharrasment have made any inroads into stopping their misuse.

After revelations about NDAs' role in aspects of various #MeToo related cases, we've all become more aware of their dangerous effect(s)

@backupbear Looks like you might be right after all 🤬
Oh dear. I've accidentally bought quite a lot of books from eBay. Again. Time to get some more shelves 😂🤦‍♀️📚

"After I left Tesla, I was basically unemployable for about two years because of the intellectual-property agreement I had with Tesla and with Tesla being as litigious as they are. So for the first couple of years, I was, first of all, out of money and, second of all, unemployed." #IP #EVs #Musk #NDAs #Tesla #litigation #employmentLaw #batteries

#Facebook moderators 'told not to discuss #working conditions'

#Workers in #Dublin office claim US company used #NDAs to try to stop them talking to Leo Varadkar

Facebook has been accused of using #nondisclosure agreements to try to build a “wall of #secrecy” and prevent its #moderators from discussing working #conditions with Leo #Varadkar, the Irish tánaiste (deputy PM).

RT @AttorneyGriggs@twitter.com

Why not release them from the #NDAs??? #DemDebate2020
