Yesterday I signed and dated a document wherein I agreed not to badmouth, disparage, or speak ill of my employer in any way. I also agreed that I would not encourage any one else to badmouth, disparage, or speak ill of my employer in any way. I signed this document because it also contained the details of my severance package.
Now, I don't want to rush into breaking my legal agreement, but by my reference to severance, one might presume I could have an ill feeling or two towards said employer. Put frankly, you bastards fired me. How could I possibly refrain from sharing my honest opinion about how deeply you suck? Hell, the log-on password I have to type fifty times a day is the only joy in my waning workdays because it disparages my employer.
And really, how responsible can I be held for my role in others trashing on the company? When I've been jobless for months and my boyfriend tires of finding me on the couch watching soaps and comments on how sucky it was for that damn company to lay me off, am I responsible? When I head straight to the bar on my last day of employment and encourage friends and strangers to join me in a "Fuck You [name withheld for reasons of legal liability]" toast, can I be held liable?
Maybe it was dishonest of me to sign for the severance cash when I know full well I can't hold true to the enforced positive view of the company I am expected to present. I guess I'm okay with that.
