-Removed-I was working for a USAID project and was spending some time in their central office in the stock exchange building in Jakarta. They had an unusually good internet connection - at a time when most people had poor dial-up. I was downloading loads of music onto my laptop oblivious to how much of a no no it was to be doing so. The chief of party and IT guy could see the office bandwidth was being hammered and they approached me in my cubicle and said they had narrowed it down to me...
-Removed-It’s been a long time since last I worked for a corporation but I seem to remember when I joined, any of them, there was a booklet, something along the lines of “Corporate Dos and don’t”, handed out. We were told that the “King’s” edicts were to be followed, religiously and any deviation would result in an employees “death”.🤔

-Removed-Third world countries have mastered the art of govt corruption. That what you described is small potatoes, an if that is all the official was guilty of, he would be considered an honest politician. Every now and then they get their just rewards, as in the case of the Haitian president.
I was invited to the opening of a fancy new data centre my company had just built.
After a very agreeable lunch I posted some outside pictures of the building on Twitter. Along with some flattering comments.
Next day I was reprimanded by my boss for my actions.
My defence that it was all good stuff that I said fell on deaf ground and stony ears.
