According to the text obtained by Portal do Bitcoin from people who would have been dismissed in this wave, the employee will not be able to defame the Nu group if he accepts the clause. “Defame means, without limitation, making comments or statements about any person or entity, including, but not limited to, the press, the media, on various social networks (…)”, points out the text, which includes Linkedin, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter as places where the employee must not express himself in a way that harms the employer’s “honor, good name or reputation”.
The source says he received two documents, with the first briefer only about the shutdown. The second would be the one that mentions the “dismissal benefit package”, which should be signed by 6 pm on Friday (10).

In addition, there was a major slowdown in hiring.
