“”I just couldn’t believe they could fly people in to sit at our desks and take over our jobs exactly,” one former worker, who wasn’t named and is now unemployed, told The New York Times. “It was so humiliating to train somebody else to take over your job. I still can’t grasp it.”
This kind of thing has been quoted quite a bit, but if someone is that mad, why are they anonymous? Remaining anonymous doesn’t lend any credibility to the story whatsoever. If the person it supposedly happened to can’t go out on a limb to expose this wrongdoing, i’ll reserve believing it until someone does. Otherwise it is unsubstantiated hearsay.
Employers make nondisclosure a condition for getting severance pay.
The people themselves say there are two things forcing their silence:
1. employment agreements they’ve signed, and
2. recommendations for new jobs to new employers
Many of them were forced to sign confidentiality agreements and they were given a buy-out. If they broke the agreement, they would get no compensation and be fired immediately.
