Except… this sort of contract is no longer considered to be legal in the United States.
I’m really looking forward to the lawsuits, to be honest.
Edit: lol wow, derp. This is NDA, not non-compete (the article I linked). But that said, companies will often make NDA contracts that are legally questionable, and as was mentioned (and linked to) further down the thread, the NLRB has ruled that NDAs that effectively force employees to broadly surrender their labor law rights are unenforceable.
I may be missing information, but I thought the only major change recently was that non-compete agreements were made effectively illegal, but I don't believe there was anything that affected non-disclosure agreements and non-disparagement agreements.
They're not talking about that, they're talking about this from last year:
