In 99% of cases they should be fired. Sure, if they are an ambassador or US congressman, they are expected to be public figures. If they are influential and expected to influence and have a high up role, then maybe they should have some abi

You absolutely can't "just use a personal device" at home at a lot of larger companies. I mean you can try, but mostly you will just not be able to connect to the network, and if you do manage to get through you will probably

I think it's partly that, and mostly a reaction to the recession. We're a similar age and all my decisions and the decisions of my peers about what to do after high school were based primarily off of what we had seen during the re
