I just need to scream this rn. I F***ING HATE BEING A CONTRACTOR!!! 😭😭😭

Backstory. Contract company has new NDA from client company and this I have to sign and claim I don’t work at a company I take deep pride doing work for. I have to update resume and LinkedIn now. I asked client company if they want their backpack, jacket and shirt back. Then I learned contractors take 2 years to be indicted. I have more certs and experience and have done work others are afraid to touch and still it’s based on first come first serve wtf is that? I’m sad lol

How can an NDA compel you to commit fraud? This should only be for going forward in the future.

@Demolishun
Please elaborate. And correction to the above. “ inducted” not indicted.

@RayS99 You have a work history with company X. Now an NDA is compelling you to lie about your work history? Shouldn't it only affect the work going forward?

@Demolishun not sure. This makes sense to me but isn’t my resume and linked in account breaching this? Although they were made before this NDA change. Isn’t it considered a breach if I don’t update? I changed it anyway it’s all irritating lol. Should speak with legal on the matter then. I’m not entirely sure. It makes it clear I can no claim on any public platform working full time for Company X which to me seems like a breach on linked in and resume going forward.

@RayS99 I dunno, seems odd and kinda shitty.

@Demolishun yeah I offered for them to have their backpack, shirt, mugs, and jacket back as wearing this stuff in public is a breach lol. I’m kinda petty and very salty rn. Someone somewhere must’ve done something stupid causing all of us to lose this small joy of taking pride where you work. Wether it be for or with.

I’m going to set up my LLC to contract myself by end of year. So at least I can take pride in that no longer someone taking my cuts and no longer needing the confusion and multiple permissions of working through layers of companies for a day off or asking for needs and having to ask around. It’s so dumb. I’ll be prepairing contracts, legal team, and regulatory certs to do this. The bank account and LLC exists already. I am SICK AND TIRED OF THIS BS LOL.

So do you want to sign that NDA but keep working for that another company that it prohibits you working for?
