anonDisparage

Contract includes a clause that any modifications are invalid unless initialed by an manager

> What happens if you don't sign? Termination?

Yes, I am employed in an at will state. They seemed unwilling to negotiate the language with me, so I think that I will be terminated if I refuse to sign.

Thank you very much, I think this is the most sound approach forward.

Based on conversations today, they seemed unwilling to revise the contract, so either forgetfulness or possible termination seems close in my future!

I have no intention to disparage any past employer in public for the exact reasons that you mentioned. The whole putting it in the contract forever though is what rubs me the wrong way

To clarify, do you find that a non-disparagement clause is uncommon, or just the unlimited time frame?
