    How should you respond to csi's restrictions on what you can and cannot disclose in your new work with compware?

  1. You should assert your rights to make use of all the information that your training has provided you. This includes especially the innovations you introduced to CSI. Because this is the result of your hard work you should be able to take it with you to your new job.
  2. Even though CSI's confidentiality boundaries are, in your opinion, restrictive, you have no choice but to accept them. Make these boundaries clear to Compware and hope that they still want your services.
  3. You need to consult a lawyer here. Clearly CSI is trampling on your legal rights but you will need expert help to assert them.
  4. Your solution....

More on full and honest disclosure: terms of interview

    Full disclosure also pertains to providing full disclosure of the terms of the interview as well as full disclosure of the terms of employment should the search reach this point.

  • Full disclosure would include providing the job candidate with a detailed itinerary of the interview process. As we will see in the case below, some interviewers deliberately leave off certain items to create surprises.
  • Full disclosure of the nature of the job should include a detailed description of routine activities as well as non-routine possibilities. An example of a significant non-routine task would be that occasions may arise where an employee may at some point be called upon to work on a weapons project.
  • In short, the job candidate should be given, during the interview, an orientation on work responsibilities, places in which the work will be carried out, and the colleagues with whom he or she will be working.

8. oh, by the way...

Pedro, who will graduate at the end of the current semester, is a student at a well known Hispanic serving university. He and two of his classmates are flown by Comp-Org for an interview at company headquarters. During a phone conversation with the company representative setting up the interview, he asks if there is anything he should do to prepare for the interview. The company representative answers, "No." Pedro receives a faxed itinerary of the interview--it looks routine. So Pedro and his classmates board the plane and arrive at their destination, the company headquarters. The company official who meets them at the airport tells them that the first item on the interview agenda is a drug test. When Pedro objects--"Why weren't we told about this before we agreed to the interview?"--he is told that if this is unacceptable to him, he can get right back on the plane because the interview is over for him.

    What should pedro do?

  • He should get on the plane. This act on the part of the interviewer violates his right of prior disclosure of the terms of the interview.
  • He should submit to the drug test. After all, he should have reasonably expected that the company would do something like this. Since whether or not he has a drug habit is highly job relevant, the company has a right to this information.
  • He should file a grievance against the company for discriminating against Hispanics.
  • Your solution....
