Cease and Desist Order issued by Company

Hello po,

Greetings!!!

I just wanted to seek assistance/advice about my current situation. I was working with a company that clearly violated a privacy policy of the account we handle. I reported this incident to our higher management. They have initiated an investigation regarding this malpractice but have diverted the issue and covered the real violation.

I have then escalated this to our Clients (the people who actually runs the account. I work in  call center btw) to seek further assistance because our company is hiding the truth. Things go smooth at first until the company endorsed me to H.R., conducted a hearing with them and the end result after 3 days is termination. Upon giving me my Notice of Decision, the H.R. issued a cease and desist order to stop any means of communication with the clients because someone told them I've been keeping in contact with them. The clients visited our site and further investigate on that matter.

Please enlighten me, since I am no longer with the company, why would they want to restrict me from contacting the clients to provide evidence about the issue i have raised?

Thanks and hope to hear from you...

Best regards,

Raven

This cease and desist order are commonly issued by the courts in particular cases. However, if the company issues you this, it is only trying to protect itself.

This order, is not really enforceable to an individual more so to a former employee anymore. You can still do your own thing just as long as you don't step on the rights of anybody.

Yes, normaly. Just check if you promised anything more in the contract concerning silence, which perhaps can be used against you.
