this is not ok. Sueing employees is not a good look for any company. Use their criticism to look within your organization for how you can do better. Companies often go through really hard culture changes as they grow, I get it.

A cryptocurrency exchange company known as Kraken is trying to harass and silence former employees. EFF is helping one fight back. eff.org/press/releases

Many people will have their feelings hurt and will lash out. Be the bigger party(as you actually are) and take the licks and pains that comes with growing a company. Be different, be an ethical company.

This is contract dispute. Someone was paid for something and they didn't keep their end of the bargain. This isn't about silencing employees. Financial services firms operate in a high risk environment and when people commit to secrecy in exchange for pay, we hold them to it.

Nope, read the article. The EFF is claiming that the contract was not broken. But regardless, some of these contracts and the way they're enforced are incredibly hostile, I defend an employees right to speak out if they're not divulging intellectual property.

Not to mention this is in regards to severance contracts, which can be extremely hostile as well... Sure let me go spend a bunch of money on a lawyer once o get fired.
