From my perspective, in the most bold words I can think to phrase this: You're betraying the citizens and lawful residents of your country by not informing them of what to expect should they accept a job at one of these companies. Have fun with your 30 pieces of silver (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thirty_pieces_of_silver ).

Do you, at least, believe that confidentiality agreements should be broken if it is to make the police or public aware of a crime? How about a civil infraction, such as a hostile working environment?

Absolutely. I referenced whistleblowing in my original post above. This isn't a such a case.

Does this apply to people who infiltrate what they believe are corrupt companies with the expectation of digging up dirt, and thus sign the confidentiality agreements with the expectation of violating them?

Does this apply to moral wrongs, which are technically legal (e.g. cruel conditions at animal farms)?
