What is an NDR?
Something exactly like this happened to me back in September 2016.
After giving me a crock excuse and telling me "company policy" would allow them to steal my accumulated vaction earned over many years, I told them they were lying sacks of fecal matter, snatched their "excuse" document off the table and stalked out.
They told me they needed the document back and the bossman even followed me out to the parking lot. I turned around, ripped it and told him to "Come and Get It". Instead, he slinked away.
They tried to contest my unemployment filing. I took it to court and won. In the meantime, I got food stamps to slow the cash burn. Five months later, I started a job with a better company and am now making more of an increase in less than two years than I got with the former crooks in eight.
Never assume that you are unemployable at age 60 or more and have to stick with a crappy job with sleazy crooked management. The Trump economy is at least partly to thank!
“What is an NDR?”
Non Disclosure Agreement. My company calls it a NDA.
An NDR is a Non Disclosure Agreement.
In it you agree not to disclose any company secrets, and to refrain from working in a competitive industry for the next five years. For instance, if you worked for GM, the NDR would prevent you from working at another automotive company for five years.
So if you were an expert in designing windshied wipers, you would have to find work in another industry that would utilize your skill set. Like Microsoft, or Dairy Queen.
