"I'm sorry, I can't talk about that. I signed an NDA."

You can even create your own NDA to sign so it won't be a lie, if you care about that sort of thing.

This is the best answer by far.

Second best is "independent researcher." Make up the metrics. You produced numerous 20,000 word reports for a small group of peers? Great, I have also barfed up a wall of text at reddit.

First rule of signing your own NDA is you don't talk about signing your own NDA.

Signing an NDA with oneself sounds like fay trickery 🤣

Narrator: I didn't.

The NDA trick no longer works, employers caught onto this, and now they have a secret "We employed these people under NDA" list to verify it, and the worst ones don't upload it there to punish those who dare to leave

They signed an NDA so they can’t elaborate

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

It's more like people have suggested it to me to avoid the NDA trick in the future.

I googled it. If you're under NDA for the company name how are they going to ask the company?

[–] Bassman1805@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's not that they keep a list of who was employed under NDA, it's that [the fact that you worked here] isn't what's actually under NDA, it's the actual project you were a part of.

NDAs just aren't the blanket defense people think they are.

[–] vaionko@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 day ago

The NDA can include the whole employment, otherwise, if you were employed for a specific time when a project happened to be run, you can be connected to the project

[–] immutable@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I signed a non disclosure agreement about that period of time and am not at liberty to discuss it.

Well ZILtoid1991 said you have to tell us with who and we can ask them to use the secret non disclosure disclosure mechanism, who was the NDA with.

The counter party is covered under the terms of the NDA, I can’t disclose who they were either.

Checkmate

No, this could work in a way that all companies just submit names to the same list, and if someone says NDA they check the list.

Problem with this is that small companies or companies from other countries won't give a shit or won't be allowed to even submit anything. Of course, you could say small companies don't use NDA, but that is not true and defeats the purpose really
