    They usually bind your severance package to an NDA and/or non-compete.

    Doubt non-compete was enforceable in the first place, though. NDA is still applicable for proprietary info

      They can’t prevent you using your skills to find and use at another job, but if you know how they make the flux capacitor you can’t sell that on the job interview.

      IMO: If you helped make the flux capacitor you should be able to say that as job experience in order to negotiate a higher wage wherever you decide life takes you.
