Such clauses only come into effect if you take the severance package. So, while you can say it's likely the employee was under a non-disparagement agreement, it's not a certainty.

Generally NDA refers to non-disclosure, not non-disparagement.

Yes, but it's also generally a non-disparagement which would stop former employees from speaking negatively about their former company to the press.
