I read. Bravely done. Willing to talk more? jbort at businessinsider com
So I lost a bunch of money posting that story. I had to turn down the severance offer because it contained a hush clause.

I tried pledging to your Patreon but it says I'm blocked from doing so?

I have no idea why… Maybe try again?

I feel like there should be a list of companies somewhere known to have used a severance-with-hush-clause offer.
-
This is most companies. My advice would be to take the money and say what you want anyways. These clauses are hard to enforce.

As soon as I saw your tweet, I wondered; am so used to the hush. I am so impressed you chose to do that, and so glad you had the option.

What they OUGHT to do is double the severance offer amount for the value of continuing issues you’re surfacing. Thank you for posting!

you should start a "replace Coraline's severance" gofundme for the exact amount you passed on to tell this story
-
doing it for the same number of dollars would be a nice "f u" in their eye

Thank you so much for the features you delivered. I was getting excited about GitHub again, but such quick progress seemed off somehow.

serves you right, you signed the contract and now you're paying the price for breaking contract.

"I had to turn down" - a nice way of writing, "I broke contract" Please take time to read employment contracts and NDAs.

after writing the article? They were fired, wrote the blog, then they most likely told them "you're not getting severance"
-
Just because she posted on twitter after writing the article doesn't mean it happened after. Turned down means turned down.
-
Also making the severance conditional on that means they knew what they were doing was wrong or there'd be nothing to "hush" about.
