Interesting. I'd guess these are personal payments rather than company payments, but maybe I'm wrong about that? Such conduct is often illegal. It's too bad to learn how prevalent it seems to be among the people you know. In my experience, it's quite rare in Silicon Valley, but I'm talking about tech companies and products rather than retail ones. It's not that all companies are saintly in everything they do, but the vast majority do try hard to stay within legal boundaries. Most companies I know try to be vigilant about shenanigans among field sales staff and things do pop up from time to time. Especially abroad. -- Goodsounds ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Goodsounds's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14201 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69297 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
