Yup. When I was a recruiter, everyone was fully aware that the second we told our bosses we were taking another position was the second we would be asked to say our goodbyes and leave the premises. They definitely did not want us touching any system that contained details of clients or consultants.

17 years later, I've since been back to that office several times to visit friends without objection.

I get that sales would have lots of relationships with customers, but why marketing? Doesn’t marketing’s relationship end once the lead becomes a customer? Are marketing executives an exception?
