Let the name of Steve Keim be stricken from every book and tablet, stricken from all pylons and obelisks, stricken from every monument of Arizona. Let the name of Keim be unheard and unspoken, erased from the memory of men for all time.

Thats common among failing organizations. Try to hide your weaknesses and failures instead of fixing them

Not the best look for the organization.

Standard practice in many companies. Not just failing companies.

I do not see that big issue with this.

Many companies use NDA to protect company information. However, if you have to have empljyoees sign an NDA to stop them from leaking bad information about your company, there is a problem in your organization.

If you put it in on the tail-end of a bad situation, then it's an issue. Agree.

But I would imagine that this is standard practice for all NFL teams given the "industry" has so much media attention

I would be surprised if all pro sports teams don’t have this.

Cleary trying to put Kyle Odegard out of business lol

This isn’t McDonald’s. And every team is going to have their own way of working and doing business. It would be nuts to not have NDAs.

What happens on Hardy Drive, stays on Hardy Drive!

 

[BritCard]

Good. It's sound business sense for a major sporting franchise to have exiting employees sign NDA's.

It's more astounding they didn't do it before.

best practices are basically you have all employees sign a contract when they start that includes non-disclosure / non-disparagement clauses. Kinda surprised a high profile entertainment business wasnt doing so from the beginning

the fact that the team is having to add cash now to get employees to sign the non-disclosure means it wasn't in there when the employee started --

the other thing i have seen is when an employee gets let go -- they can have standard severance per company policy OR "enhanced" severance by signing a NDDA agreement.

I have it my corporate jobs incl. reason for termination if engaging with the media without prior approval

 

[ASUCHRIS]

Does anyone have actual evidence that this is a standard practice amongst professional sports organizations, or is that all just pure speculation?

In fairness, Michael is a giant turd so he deserves all of this.
