Everyone knows that daily reality isn't in sync with corporate training videos, regardless of the company.

They are only used for public image and putting the legal department on the safe side when things go wrong.

But there's like "doesn't follow their mottos like 'don't be evil'" and then there's "flagrant violations of federal law". No matter how disingenuous the company is, there's got to be some consequences for the latter... Or you would at least expect them to try and be circumspect about it... This just says on paper "we agreed not to compete".

Agreed, yet if most companies business practices were actually investigated properly, in every single location across the globe where they operate, it is quite clear certain locations would have already closed doors if the videos were followed to the letter.

Would that be a bad thing? Or would that mean we'd have healthier competition?

Surely, as it would mean less corruption actually.

Or in the spirit. This isn't splitting hairs: they flaunted the law and got away with it.
