One of the things I enjoy about contracting is that instead of watching all the videos on harassment and whatever, I usually just have to sign a code of conduct. Those corporate videos are soul crushing.

I guess the exception was one quiz about bribery I had to take at IBM. It asked me what I would do if I were offered a cook to go with my lodgings where I was staying during an engagement. This woke me up to the possibilities of bribery I didn't know people were getting. I'm not exactly looking for bribes, but my the hypotheticals had me thinking way too small.

Actually you raise a good point - I also did a short bribery and corruption self-driven training thing at IBM, and that one was at least interesting.

The “Active Shooter” one at JPMC was somewhat sobering.

I would accept a cook, btw, if anyone out there is bribing :)
