结果他们“同意”了不收回sign-on bonus，然而却为此附加了许多的条件，把这些都写进了我的离职协议，要求我签字。这些条件非常的恶心，特别是第8条：从今以后我不得再加入微软，它的子公司，合资企业，以及微软股份超过50%的附属公司，如果加入了他们就有权赶我走。
第8条原文是：
No Future Employment with Microsoft or Affiliates. I understand and agree that, as a condition of receiving the consideration described in Paragraph 2, I will not be entitled to any future employment with Microsoft or any subsidiary, joint venture, or affiliate of Microsoft in which Microsoft owns an interest of 50 percent or more (collectively,“Microsoft or its Affiliates”). I further agree that I will not accept, apply for, or otherwise seek future employment by Microsoft or its Affiliates, and that I will not institute or join any action, lawsuit or proceeding against Microsoft or its Affiliates for any failure to employ me. I understand and agree that if I breach any obligation set forth in this paragraph, including by applying for and/or accepting future employment with any of the Released Parties, such breach will constitute lawful and sufficient basis for the termination of any such employment.
不得不说，微软够狠，微软的HR更狠。王垠说他几个经验丰富的朋友看了这个条款，都说从来没见过任何公司使用这样的离职条款，就算被开掉也没见过这样的条款，这是非常险恶的霸王条款：
另外，协议还要求我不能鄙视和嘲笑微软，不能协助现在，过去或者将来的微软员工对公司提出抱怨或者顾虑，承认微软没有犯任何错误，不得用任何原因起诉微软，等等封嘴协议。由此可见，虽然美国有所谓“言论自由”，然而你的自由却是被金钱牢牢地控制的。
当然，我严词拒绝了签这个协议，因为它简直就像是清朝政府跟洋鬼子们签的不平等条约。
