cheerfulDuring the exit interview i was asked to sign a form that reminded me of my obligations to keep things confidential. Buried among the many clauses of that form was the sentence, "I certify that I have reported to IBM any information that I may have regarding any potential violations of law relating to IBM's business and any violations of IBM's Business Conduct Guidelines." Hum. Well, i couldn't let that go without explaining to the manager that i felt IBM's patent practices were probably violating the law, and certainly violating standards of ethical business conduct. She was patient and calm and accepted my criticism graciously.
