Still, I know for a secondhand fact the culture we enjoy here isn’t universal, so some sort of looking-into-things may be in order.

I suspect, however, that in the scenario you posit it’s more likely people will quit in disgust or just suck it up and ignore it rather than be pushed out.

Or for any other improper purpose. Would the PCAOB say it is "against the rules" to ask an employee to sign the documents mentioned? If not, why not? I'll bet.<br/>PCAOB, bah humbug! Francine:

I didn't know today was Wednesday until I read your post. How's that for being informative? : )<br/><br/>Thanks for the shout out. I'm so wary of the word "guru," so I'm grateful that you've revealed the truth. I'm just some guy. Truly. <br/><br/>I'm grateful for our brief meeting. I'll look you up next time I'm flapping my wings through your town. Want to know something really silly? I didn’t know today was Wednesday until I read your post.
