Rackspace, ex-employee settle lawsuit over workplace gripes [San Antonio Express-News]
Jan. 5 Rackspace Technology Inc. has settled a lawsuit against an ex-employee who it alleged threatened to go to the media with “concerns” about its business practices unless it paid him severance.
Under a permanent injunction and judgment reached last month, former employee James Barcelona must refrain from disclosing any of Rackspace’s confidential business information to the media or through social media.
Barcelona also is barred from contacting Rackspace’s customers and interfering with those relationships.
Barcelona had worked as a storage and backup engineer at the San Antonio cloud-computing company.
