Roar-schach, Part II: Sshhhh.

So it seems departing employees of the New York Public Library can earn an additional paycheck for signing a "non-disparagement agreement," which is exactly what it sounds like.  Some have refused to sign, and are now free to criticize the controversial library overhaul.  According to the New York Times:

The nondisparagement agreements have come to the fore partly because many employees have recently left the library after buyouts were offered to cut costs. Those who left under this “voluntary separation incentive program,” introduced in 2009, could elect to receive severance in exchange for several conditions, including the nondisparagement agreement. Several former employees who accepted the severance said they would like to comment on the Central Library Plan, a much debated proposal to overhaul the main branch by selling off other branches and moving some of the stacks to New Jersey, but could not because they had signed the agreement.

Censorship?  Buying silence?  Depends on how you look at it.  Quiet in the library--there's more than one way to shush.
