Hello - I was reviewing the offer letter issued to me and the following clause stood out as I have never heard such thingem. I am fine with at will employment and exit interview but why would my employer be wanting to contact my future employer upon termination. Here is the exact wording --
No Continued Employment; Exit Interview -- I understand that my employment with the Company is atwill
and that this Agreement does not confer any right of continued employment by the Company, and
does not limit in any way the Company's right or my right to terminate my employment at any time, with
or without cause. In the event my employment with the Company terminates for any reason, I will, if
requested, participate in an exit interview with the Company and reaffirm in writing my obligations as set
forth in this Agreement. I agree to provide the Company with the name and address of my new employer,
and consent to the Company's notification to my new employer of my rights and obligations under this
Agreement.

Every word in the document, when interpreted in its entirety, determines whether it's an enforceable contract or not.

Since you have doubts about the enforceability of your obligations, you should have it reviewed by an attorney.
