Jan Wong has been ordered to pay back a financial settlement she received when she was fired from the Globe and Mail. The reason: Ms Wong violated a confidentiality agreement swearing her to silence on the details of her dismissal when she wrote her book Out of the Blue. An arbitrator issued the order for her to re-pay the undisclosed amount of money. In her book Ms Wong called the settlement “a big pile of money.” which she was given to “go away.” The Globe and Mail says the arbitrator Louisa Davie concluded that the settlement between Ms. Wong and The Globe did not allow her to disclose any of its terms, and that this was “clear and unambiguous.” The Globe says the repayment of the settlement funds will be donated to the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health in Toronto.
