I just started a new job and am about to sign the standard employee non-disclosure
agreement. However, it contains a clause asking employees return all "Company
Documentation" when they terminate their employment.
I would like to add a statement granting me permission to use copies of my work
(manuals, tutorials, online help, and web pages) in my portfolio. The company is
OK with this, but asked me to submit a statement for approval.
Does anyone have a nice "canned" statement to this effect that I could plagerize?
