I enjoyed reading; it seemed interesting; but I just really couldn't understand what was happening. At anyrate it sounds like things worked out, so congrats ._. I had one question in particular though, what was the stuff you were downloading/printing about, and why were you downloading/printing it? Also, what was different about the stuff the woman who got fired or whatever you mentioned was downloading compared to your stuff? | ||

Also, what was different about the stuff the woman who got fired or whatever you mentioned was downloading compared to your stuff? I was just downloading our consulting procedures, think private text books of a billion dollar company's business who product is just the people who take these consulting know-how procedures and apply them. But there were litterally thousands of such material in the global intranet from years of internal investment. So as a consultant, it was actually a benefit for me to dl and get up to speed on this, but of course most consultants woudl specialize on a certain process like 'marketing promotion benchmarking ' or 'stronger payroll controls' but I basically read every single thing I could get my gubby hands on. Now every consutlting firm has their own consulting procedures, so while this is very confidential information, it will not have any material affect on the immediate business if it taken. But, in anycase, it was more like company physical assests. Whereas... What that other unethical girl was doing was bascially taking confidential business proposals that exposed what current companies were up to, the terms of the deals and what the results were. By having this information, you could: make a better proposal, advise a competing company in the same field, undercut our business and there is one thing about applying theory, but seeing the actual know-how applied in lots of current examples- its a practically theft of the business. So she had been hired by another firm and she wanted to take this with her to give her an edge in the same field or steal the firms current clients to her new firm. When you get to any senior management position, there are 2 things you are critically responsible for: 1. management of the operations, 2. gaining and maintain client accounts (new & old customers). but since the majority of your junior staff will likely have more uptodate business knowhow for current project execution, gaining clients is the #1 priority. | ||

From your writing, I get the gist that you were raised in North America? Rugby can't be a very popular sport there :/ | ||
