Google's Evil NDA
An anonymous reader writes "Google's motto is "Don't Be Evil" — but they sure have an evil non-disclosure agreement! In order to be considered for employment there, you must sign an agreement that forbids you to 'mention or imply the name of Google' in public ever again. Further, you can't tell anyone you interviewed there, or what they offered you, and you possibly sign away your rights to reverse-engineer any of Google's code, ever. And this NDA never expires. Luckily, someone has posted excerpts from the NDA before he signed it and had to say silent forever." At the bottom of the posting are links to a few other comments on the Web about Google's NDA, including a ValleyWag post that reproduces it in its entirety.
"It is NOT a "MacBook Pro". It is a PowerBook."
You are NOT a "retard". You are a piece of shit retard.
>"and choosing between eating ar dying isn't really the freedom the founding fathers had in mind."
No, the freedom they had in mind was that no damn Brits should tell them how to treat their slaves. Because you do know some of the founding fathers were slave owners, or is that removed from the patriotic history books?
You know, morons like you who think you run a business you choose to work for really piss me off.
"If enough people can agree that we really don't like these things, then together we can force employers not to do them. This is the free market in labor at work."
WTF makes you think you have a right to tell companies how to run their business? The arrogance you show with this idiotic statement is difficult to measure. Changing a government policy is one thing, but acting as though you have some right to even have an opinion about how I run my business is just dumb.
And now we learn the truth of arivanov's mis-truths. He's a bitter ex-google applicant that is envious of those that work on the luxurious Google campus.
I pitty him, he doesn't know what he's missing out on.
