Even contract workers like myself are being hit with pages and pages of Non-Disclosure Agreements - that is, NDAs. It's NDA time. Increasingly, they contain provisions which have little or actually nothing to do with the scope of the tasks. Or with protecting the client interests. One reason for that is this: They are created by lawyers. Lawyers, who see their mission as reducing risk, will cover all bases. Sometimes those lawyers are the long-term ones working with clients.

I reported to regulatory agencies that there was no such agreement when I began to research technology articles for Romeo Spino at StratasCorp, processed by middleman Burrell.

Given the agreement's terms and conditions, workers cannot go public with what they contend is misconduct in a variety of packages. They can prevent employees from revealing trade secrets. However, in many situations NDAs are used as a stealth cover-up tool for sexual harassment, discrimination, and/or retaliation.

Most leaders realize this, but few take proactive action towards addressing this issue. What’s worse, is that oftentimes we don’t see the glaring red flags signaling our micromanagement tendencies or fail to acknowledge the negative ripple effect of such behavior. Just how bad is micromanagement?
