"There is no movement to stop a wealthy employer's ability to punish ex-employees with this tactic. 10 years of daily writing emails, rants to colleagues, discussions with potential employers, websites I have visited, jokes to friends, downloaded files, etc. Have a law firm spend 18 months combing through those, and then tell you what you did wrong, is like drawing a bullseye around a dart thrown at a blank wall."
