It doesn’t seem as fun as fucking a Chinese spy though.

Well... no. You'd be fucking Jensen Huang in this scenario

The training is not for you. The training is to protect the company.

If anything ever happens that results in some kind of legal action, the company can say they gave the employee the training and the employee successfully completed the training, therefore we did all we could to prevent this and we are not liable. So then it all falls on you.

I took a very similar presentation from the shadiest company I was ever employed by, specifically that "gifts and other favors" are generally guidelines to be followed by local customs. I.e. bribe away as long as you aren't in the United States. Weird as fuck for a company that solely does commerce in the United States to have murky guidance on this very clear issue.

My role here was very brief, they hired me for a licensed role and then paid me as a customer service rep, so I quit immediately after my first paycheck was about $3,000 short.

If the leaders don’t take accountability or ethics seriously, why should the employees?

I worked for a tech giant that is a homonym of Sysco. The mandatory security training videos were I shit you not animated cartoon animals. I would be deeply concerned about security flaws in their products, except that I never encountered anyone there that had anything whatsoever to do with their actual products, nor did I encounter anyone who themselves had ever encountered anyone that had anything whatsoever to do with their actual products. This abstraction from the product line was actually a common topic of conversation there among the employees.

And additional threat layers.

Training failed successfully.

Gotta deploy the "ugly" test in all such matters:

Would this situation be sus if the other party was unattractive to me?

You would not believe how many things this filters out. Sales, advertising, cons, youtube videos, instragram, tiktok nonsense, the list goes on.

Something something you had me in the first half

There's hooking up and then there's hooking up with someone you're in business with and helping her do illegal shit at the risk of your job.

While being very old and married? Okay i guess
