To me this is the key paragraph:
> ...employees are told to assume that every document and email will end up in the hands of regulators, so they should refrain from using certain words or phrases. “We are not out to ‘crush,’ ‘kill,’ ‘hurt,’ ‘block,’ or do anything else that might be perceived as evil or unfair,” according to a slide used in the training, which The New York Times reviewed.
In my experience, these policies exist largely to avoid negative PR hits.
- im3w1l 6y agoI wouldn't be surprised if these kind of policies also change culture and behavior for the better. Or maybe another phrasing makes it clearer: If your boss has a slide deck on crushing the competition that could cause some impressionable folks to bend the rules just a little.
