Same, I have a friend who works there, often tells me about how good his stock prices are etc, never ever heard him talk about ethics, it's just not even on his radar. The other day I installed messenger (in the hope I never have to login to FB web again) and received a message about 15 seconds later saying, "Good boy, that's good for my stock prices" ha.

I know what you mean though, it's like they're trained not to discuss topics with outsiders or something?

Pretty standard amongst companies to discourage employees from talking politics about the product.
