I signed a NDA when I was brought on board and cannot disclose to anyone. One of my colleagues got into some civil matter and when put on the stand and was asked his place of work, he declined to state the name. The company lawyer was brought in and the court and the other attorney stipulated that he was employed but no name of the company was mentioned other than employed or place of employment. Like I said before the windows issues is not/will not be my responsibility, I have repeatedly been told to keep my nose out of that whole mess. It is now the company’s problem. My boss is well aware of the issues and he has chosen to stay out as he does not want to end up on the street with no job and no job history. I am pretty sure I know what kind of restrictions that are going to be placed on the outsourcing company and they will not like it, but they may or may not know these restrictions ahead of time and again that is their problem, not mine. I don’t like burrowing my head in the sand either. The company is there to make those decisions, not me.
