Following the departure of high-profile OpenAI employees, Vox revealed staff must sign a restrictive off-boarding agreement. CEO Sam Altman admitted some parts shouldn't have been included, calling it "one of the few times I’ve been genuinely embarrassed running OpenAI."
The agreement includes nondisclosure and non-disparagement provisions, preventing criticism of OpenAI indefinitely and even disclosing the NDA's existence. Breaking it results in loss of vested equity. Altman clarified on X (formerly Twitter) that OpenAI has never revoked vested equity and won't if employees refuse to sign. He announced revisions to the exit paperwork and invited former employees to contact him for corrections.
