Non-disparagement Under Employment Agreements

Does this happen in our corporate lives? Particularly after parting ways?

When any relationship comes to an end, both sides have their own versions on what (if anything) went wrong.

More often than not, you get to hear sob stories or abuses about each other - depending on which side you are lending your ears to. Badmouthing, derogatory comments and what not ... very common when there is a disengagement, particularly if not at a happy note.

Such actions result in definite lowering of image of the parties against whom this blabbering takes place, particularly in social media. Even people who have no stakes in the subject matter are just itching to join the bandwagon, without even bothering to checking any facts.
