Unhinged Manager Makes Servers Sign Ridiculous NDA That Bars Them From Gossiping For 25 Years

Does this horrible boss seriously think this NDA is enforceable? We think not. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit by u/throawayeas989, who opened up about the absolutely crazy non-disclosure agreement they received from their boss stating no employee can talk about anyone or anything related to the business for the next quarter of a century.

 

Does this person think they're running a restaurant or a high-stakes military operation? Not only is the 25 years portion of the NDA ridiculous, but also the whole contract consists of poorly defined terminology that will likely make it impossible to enforce. Some of the Redditors in the comments section got into a heated debate about what was the right advice for the original poster (the UK lawyer who advised to sign the document and forget about it is insane…). Our hot take is to stall signing the document and start looking for new jobs immediately. This manager is clearly either crazy or crazy paranoid.
