No NDA, completely different sector. Stated reason was the same as in the article: "we need your full undivided attention", followed by some bullshit that they were "concerned" I would be overworking myself. Maybe they should have reduced the work load at work if they were truly concerned, as I was pulling 60+ hour work weeks at the time.
