There are a decent amount of companies that, if you have worked for them, you will avoid their services or products like the plague. Unfortunately, most places will fire you if you start telling the public about what goes on behind the scenes.
Someone asked “What is a corporate secret you can now safely tell because you don't work there anymore?” and ex-employees spilled the beans. From tips and tricks to how to get around customer support and hotel staff, to horrifying facts about what goes on in a fast food restaurant. So upvote your favorites, comment your thoughts, and keep learning!

NDAs are a lot more common than one might think. In the US, as of 2022, around one-third of all employed people have an active NDA at this very moment. So perhaps it’s good that there are anonymous outlets like the internet out there where people can share what goes on behind the scenes without risking their jobs.
While most exist to protect the company from the sort of things we see here, there are many that are just to limit the spread of “trade secrets.” However, given the sheer number of NDAs out there, it would appear that “trade secret” is a pretty loosely understood term.

That being said if something downright criminal is happening, most countries do have laws to protect whistleblowers. After all, unethical practices are, unfortunately, not always against the law. Indeed, legal experts have found that some companies make employees sign NDAs that they can’t legally enforce, for example having clauses that “prevent” them from complaining about discrimination or harassment.
