What is the definition of bribery ? Cash , cash equivalents ? Or s--ual favors ? How much cash receipt or cash equivalents received is considered bribery ?
I know of a department/s in China who collected cash and cash equivalents . Thinking very hard if I should whistle blow .
Sure seems easy to blame "old timers" for everything ill about this company. I can't count the number of times old timers had to bail snot nosed kids out of a big jam.
I know most of the Procurement Folks in Seagate sites are old timers , it is a dangerous to have those people there for ages, rampant corruption , kickbacks are very common here , especially in Asia. Corporate are blind enough not knowing that.
Innocent will remain that way. Send him an email...
The Eco system impact is huge . Some were unwilling participants. The key person took the lionshare of the bribe and insisted that all his direct reports take a very very small token . Some were coerced to take the small token .Since all the hands are soiled , no one would step forward. I have to think carefully to avoid implicating the innocent .
Why should bad people get away with ripping others off? I
Yes, you should report it. It's the right thing to do.
