I'll change my tune next year when we approach gold and working stupid crunch hours I'm sure...and already cursing some design changes that meant a small re-work already...to become a time consuming re-work in the future *l*

Yep. Thats why I have photographs of my boss humping a goat, well maybe photoshop played a little role...
. . . seriously though, you may think it is unethical, but I see it as self preservation - I know more about my company business than they would like to be made public. My job security is as safe as I need it to be
Of course the information you hold can be useful contacts to a competitor, or illegal or damaging practices your company engages in. Both work just as well. Having both means good bonuses each year too LOL
Reality check - America is a capitalist company. I intend to cash in, LMFAO

Until someone decides you've become too much of a risk.

Unless your suggesting my employer takes a contract out on me, I'm quite sure I'm safe

Funny enough our bin collections have gone really wayward since the new firm took over. I was going to complain till I saw 'Head office Chicago,IL'. They'll take anything though
