You can also go to prison for insider trading. Is this also too onerous for you? What reason is there for leaking information about the company you are current

  I think the tone is heavy-handed. Leaking can happen accidentally--for example, by leaving an iPhone in a bar--and sending the message that this could result in criminal prosecution doesn't seem good for morale. Of course, every employee at Apple knows the culture of the company, so it's not like it should be any surprise.

    The guy who left the iPhone 4 at a bar was never fired because it was an accident. In fact he stayed at Apple until 2017 [1]. [1] https://www.linkedin.com/in/graypowell/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/graypowell/

    >Of course, every employee at Apple knows the culture of the company, so it's not like it should be any surprise. I used to work at Apple (both at the retail stores and briefly in Cupertino) and, out of all the jobs I've had, it's still my favorite corporate culture. It's the only company where I felt like I wasn't just a number. It wasn't uncommon for opportunities to open up for people all throughout the company and, as long as you weren't stealing or doing something else (like leaking info) that could harm the company, there seemed to be a mutual respect between upper management and even low-level employees.
