  1. Friend makes a company named say "Morgan defence ltd" and you sing an NDA with your friend not to talk about your 2 year beer holiday on the beach.

  2. Company checks our your story. Friend's company looks like a typical defence industry shell company with no history of anything.

  3. Job

You can skip that and say I was defense consultant with an NDA and cannot disclose which organisation I worked for

"Yes, I had to correspond with other engineers and English was used in all communications."

It was in fact the major form of communication!

Fraud (y)

WereCat@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y

It's not fraud. Singing is normal.

BearGun@ttrpg.network · 1 pts · 2y

How is it fraud? No lies are told, not even implied. It would just be the company making assumptions.

Did….did you censor dr manhattans male presenting nipples?

blanketswithsmallpox@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 2y (3 replies)

Is he even male anymore? I thought that was more like a dead sex to him since he was AMAB but is now a god.

InfiniWheel@lemmy.one · 23 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Biologically and functionally speaking, he's whatever and everything. Practically speaking, he chooses to have a dick and look like a big muscular man that looks nothing like his previous form (so its even more deliberate), so it seems the only thing that survived his ascention was his gender identity.

Shouldn't his answer be "Yes. I signed an NDA."?

kambusha@sh.itjust.works · 30 pts · 2y (7 replies)

Yes, no, I don't know. Could you repeat the question?

Also, shouldn't they mention that in the resume?

Rule # 1 of signing an NDA: you're not allowed to say that you signed an NDA.

WereCat@lemmy.world · 19 pts · 2y (8 replies)

Even if you don't mention who you signed it with? There's quite a bit difference between saying "I've signed NDA" and "I've signed NDA with company (name)"

undergroundoverground@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y (7 replies)

I mean, who else other than your last employer would it be with?

Acters@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y (6 replies)

Breaking the agreement does not always mean you will get in trouble for it. This is the one rule that can be risked breaking without facing repercussions.

undergroundoverground@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y (5 replies)

Breaking it in any way means you will likely have to pay back any money they gave you immediately.

Personally, I would consider that to be a repercussion.

Acters@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y (4 replies)

I didn't say there are no repercussions. I said it is a safe bet on a risk that many individuals are willing to make.

undergroundoverground@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y (3 replies)

I mean, you can break any rule, law or agreement without facing repercussions, if you don't get caught.

Isn't it normally part of an NDA to not being able to admit you signed one.

snugglesthefalse@sh.itjust.works · 55 pts · 2y

Not normally, that wouldn't make much sense. It's easier to just say you signed an NDA and anyone with sense knows you're not allowed to talk about the work.

mannycalavera@feddit.uk · 21 pts · 2y (1 reply)

It's about Disclosure not Admittance. That would be a NAA.

When asked your say: NAA...

MonkeMischief@lemmy.today · 23 pts · 2y

Unless you're Bruce Wayne, in which case when asked you might say NA NA-NA NA-NA NA-NA NA....

I'll see myself out.
