Hey Informatica - how much per head do you spend on your user conferences? Asking for a friend.
Utter hypocrisy. There seems to have been a suggestion that some lesser amount would have been ok. So its only a bribe if its excessive?
I always think that Bribery and Corruption legislation (and consequential corporate rules) is one of the worst examples of Western Developed countries claiming their own shit dont stink. At least most of the rest of the world is honest about it. Westerners tend to disguise it in mutual back scratching.
For a more honest approach all that's required is a donation register and for "bribed" employee's to recuse themselves from conflicts. If its good enough for our MP's why can't the rest of us do it? Pigs protecting their own troughs.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
