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.

I understand contract law, and I know that it is abused by corporations. And in this case they're trying to force a third party company to reveal anonymous identities... Give me a break, I don't support this at all.

Ah co-founder of kraken... So really? You say contract dispute for not keeping up their end of the bargain? What bargain? Did their contract have anything to do with Glassdoor?

If you sign an agreement and take a payment in exchange for not saying X and then you say X (pseudonymously or not), you are in breach of contract.

ROFL, you're digging yourself such a hole. So you have employees sign contracts that they can't talk about their work experience at kraken after getting fired? Good luck finding engineers.

This is exactly what I'm talking about... It's not a good look for your company. They didn't go on Glassdoor and reveal your trade secrets to competitors, or even your technology stack. Simply their experience.

Instead of trying to silence the narrative, why not explain your side of things? (If it's really that big of a deal) This is what good PR does.... You'll never attract the right talent being hostile to your employees.

Former employees who have breached their contracts are not friends of the company. Current employees would do well to take note of the example being set here. The company takes privacy and security very seriously and if you breach your contract, there will be consequences.

Are their reviews still visible on Glassdoor? I'm assuming they're removed.... I completely understand security, but it doesn't seem like any of that or any IP was compromised... You're just being hostile.

You keep standing on the breech of contract soap box... But the contract was likely hostile in nature if a Glassdoor review breached it. You're in an ongoing case so I don't expect for you to say anything here that would change your stance.
