A Croydon recollection shows the limits of a management-based NDA rule

The account distinguishes formal management status from actual access to information during a council crisis.

Notes

Drachinifel recalls nondisclosure agreements being imposed on senior managers during Croydon Council's financial crisis. He says he had comparable access to information as a principal engineer but was not managing staff at that point. The agreements consequently missed him, in his account, leaving him outside the same contractual restriction. The example shows how a rule tied to management titles can fail to match who actually knows about a situation. It is a personal recollection of the rule's application, without an independent account of the contracts' legal reach.
