> Large companies definitely don’t try to prohibit you from telling people you worked there.
no, thats not what I said.
Large companies that pay generous severance generally want a non disparagement agreement in return. This means that yes you can say you worked there, you might even be able to say what department you worked in.
What you can't say is that you worked on x,y or z, your opinion on the company direction or anything else that might be related to the company or is actions.
If you even speak of this NDA/non disparagement agreement to anyone other than the listed highly limited number of people, you'll have to pay back all the severance, plus legal costs.
So OP might want to tell you about their time, but they don't want to because it'll cost them a house worth of cash.
