      I think they're just preempting the law so to come off magnanimous.

      Waving non-competes

      Those were always unenforceable

      Waving NDAs for misconduct allegation

      New law

      Salary bands for new positions

      New law

      This just goes to show that companies will never willingly move to do the right thing. They need to be coaxed by laws protecting workers.
