Speak to your manager about it. Be prepared to speak to legal about it.

Not doing so - even if you don't do what they're asking - is possible grounds for disciplinary action if discovered later, e.g. these people are caught bribing others, their files are gone through, and your name pops up as somebody they approached and it's realised you kept quiet. At that point you may have damaged the trust your employer has in you.

Report this to your company and law enforcement.

The advice here to tell your employer and law enforcement is such an awful idea. They're more likely to target you and suspect you coordinated with them even if you didn't. HR and legal isn't there to help you - they're there to help the company.

I know a person who is literally from a third world country. And he operates some Florida based cosmetic shops virtual assistance effort. They have a 30 member team operating day and night doing something shady.

People often underestimate how successful the successful dropshippers are.

How much is “large”?

Much more than I'm getting paid at Amazon.

Over what length of time?

I didn't get into the details because I was adamantly against doing it.

What you're getting paid at Amazon has the dimension of money/time; a bribe is presumably just money. We need to know the time period to reasonably compare the two :). Otherwise it's like saying "the distance to city is much larger than the speed of my car".

tbh, I've already said more than I'd like to about the matter.

Did you consider reporting the people who reached out to you? Is there even a method in which to doso? Not sure if that would internal or externally.

I work at a different large tech company and there are absolutely internal ways to report any kind of suspicious contacts. I'd be shocked if every large company didn't have at least some way.

Even if there isn't a way, you just lift the phone and dial the general counsel.

How does it matter? Take away is the money offered is not trivial and looks like much beyond the money needed for splurging on a nice new German car.

Kudos to the OP on taking a moral stand. How many would do that?

Not sure about OC but in this indictment it's $100k presumably paid to multiple people

> over $100,000 in commercial bribes to Amazon employees and contractors, in exchange for an unfair competitive advantage on the Amazon Marketplace

$100k is a very tidy sum in India. Even $10k isn't pocket money.

This is why those labelling the comments about Indian outsourcing as racist as missing the point. Outsourcing significant business operations to developing countries makes corruption and hostile interference really really cheap - and therefore far more likely.

Uh, I live in Kansas City and $10k isn’t exactly pocket money.
