EDIT: Anthropic have kindly released me personally from my entire concealed non-disparagement, not just made a specific safety exception. Their position on other employees remains unclear, but I take this as a good sign
If someone signed a non-disparagement agreement in the past and wants to raise concerns about safety at Anthropic, we welcome that feedback and will not enforce the non-disparagement agreement.
Thanks for this update! To clarify, are you saying that you WILL enforce existing non disparagements for everything apart from safety, but you are specifically making an exception for safety?
this routine use of non-disparagement agreements, even in these narrow cases, conflicts with our mission
Given this part, I find this surprising. Surely if you think it’s bad to ask future employees to sign non disparagements you should also want to free past employees from them too?
