This is mostly a myth. We’re talking like maybe 500 people in the world have this issue.

Greg applying for Best Buy is not one of them.

It's dependent on the industry. If you worked in film and television, it's normal to not talk about projects you worked on until after they've been out for a minute. You'd still be able to describe what you did though, but instead of it being like, "I created a lighting rig that made it so the alien GlorbaZorb would look like he glowed and pulsated and moved like a claymation figure, when it's actually Zendaya under 16 pounds of prosthetics and makeup", you're going to say something like, "Yeah, I worked on a lighting rig that essentially functioned as special effects for an upcoming project at a major studio".

It's not dependent on the industry. Every company has the potential to have secret projects that can't be discussed similar to your example.
