>>67983681Anon, let's say you work at your best friend company.
To be hired there, you (like any other employee) had to sign a contract that says that if you leak sensitive info, you are fired.
One day you get drunk and accidentally say something that is unequivocally "sensitive info" to an outsider.
At this point, your best friend has two choices:
1) Fire you, which while necessary, is still done with heavy heart by your friend, since he doesn't want to actually let you go, but he has no choice.
2) Don't fire you, which makes that part of the contract null and void for *everyone* at the company (because if they don't legally enforce it to you, then they can't legally enforce it to anyone), which lead to no contracts, clients running away, stocks falling to the bottom, until eventually the company bankrupts, leaving you (and any other remaining employees) without a job.
It really sucks, but it sadly had to be done.
