To get even more off-topic, that seems unenforceable, I violation of
the free speech clause of the US Constitution. Non-disclosure of
company secrets, sure. Non-compete, maybe. Non-trash-talk?

My wife is having a field day with it. She's in human resources and says
companies pull these kinds of stunts all the time. For example, many
companies in the tech industry have a clause that says they will fire you
for discussing your salary with other employees.

Turns out, they don't have to fire somebody for it to get sued for it. It's
illegal. But many companies either don't know it or they do it for as long
as they can get away with it.
