maybe the most fucked part is that this all just sounds like regular corporate tech culture to me tbh. hr seems to often be a joke and there's a bunch of stuff in standard employment contracts that is straight up insane

My now ex-employer had me sign that I wouldn't sue them for violating the US or State of California's constitution for while I had worked there.

Good luck to them having that hold up in court, but it was an insane thing to read as the first two parts of my severance agreement.

Heartbreaking. Genuinely heartbreaking that it's fine to do that to someone. Lie to them, then throw them to the curb.

Like, yeah, read what you sign, get EVERYTHING in writing, never trust another soul above you in a corporation.... but fuck it's still so fucking enragingly heartbreaking that that's fine for everyone involved.
