I worked at a company where I had signed agreement related to non-compete items and return of company material. Meaning I could not keep any information related to my company after my employment ends.
My position was eliminated due to the pandemic, I am no longer employed by the company. I have made every effort to comply with the agreement.
I received a threatening letter from an attorney demanding that I sign a letter under penalty of perjury that I did not have any company information. I do not want to sign this letter, and risk ever being accused or convicted of perjury. The attorney is threatening me with an injunction to force me to sign.
I am unemployed and do not want to pay for an attorney, so this is very scary.
Can my former employer force me to sign a letter under penalty of perjury after my employment has ended?
Is it ethical for an attorney to take this legal action?
