I had one of those days where I went against the wishes of my boss. I didn't just piss him off I took 10 of his best employees with me, wrote a nice letter to his investors and
made him withdraw a particularly threatening non-disclosure agreement. My as is on the line, but it was totally worth it. The next week will tell if I keep my job or get turned loose.
Was it not a Non-Disclosure that he had legal draw up? I'm under NDs and NCs but they had legal make sure it was tight before even asking for my signature. He Mr. Cocky?
The NDA would never hold up in court. It is entirely too far reaching. He even went as far as to threaten heirs if you give discuss proprietary information or give out trade secrets.
It is an aquarium - there are no trade secrets. He did have a lawyer draw it up and WTF! He was banking on a bunch of biologists being too ignorant about law to question it.
