macromaniac, thanks for your note! and you bring up a very important issue -- trust.
i agree with your point on the surface, which is what i feared quite frankly. however, let met ask this... i was at ibm 9 years. i supported three executives during that time and as part of my job i gathered competitive information. leave it there. ;)
i've never leaked that information -- nor would i. if i did i know what circumstances would result -- and really, no harm would come to me other than being blacklisted in that industry, for a few months really.
i look at it this way... an employer (in the USA) may fire anyone of us in a drop of a hat and without reason. so, i would never trust an employer, nor did i trust ibm, but i do see my weekly paycheck as that employer buying *my* trust.
maybe this is all a part of ethics...? on a political analogy... i personally despise bush; however, as you've probably read on my site, i publish stories in *support* of george bush. i even had fun editing them for the writers who submitted these stories... i wanted their ideas to come through in the best possible way. i didn't have to agree with them in order to help them be a success. but this is simply upholding the journalistic eithic i've sworn to my profession.
if an employer can not trust
me even though they offer pay, i don't see a good match. so, i am not convinced that hiding myself would really change that. do you agree? |

When you mentioned those words, "Buying my trust" I just had to laugh, because immediately I had the words, "Shut-Up Money" ringing in my head! Tee Hee Hee
Money, Money, Money....the things we do for Money! Tisk Tisk we can all sell ourselves so short just like Judas did in the bible....and where did that really get him to in the end? I'm sure the Devil is alive and well if suddenly we find ourselves being manipulated all for a bit of paper with some ink on it! So whatever you do don't give up your dreams for a bit of rag paper and ink! For sooner or later that rag is gonna fall apart and all that'll be left is a bunch of unused talents and lost dreams! I wonder how many folks out there have been sidetracked by the lure of money? They know in their heart of hearts what they should be doing, but they take the easier way out all due to money.
