For many, it is policy to do so, and yet, I see people in management positions flagrantly disregarding this.

The sad reality is that a lot of these people don't understand, or don't care about the repercussions of openly disclosing this information.

Just today, I overheard someone discussing that they have a significant number of meetings scheduled with a senior member of government over the next few weeks, in a public space.

Disregard for such things is a great way to show off power and remind more junior employees of their place. Of course, you might rat them out, but then again that could undermine your own prospects.
