some greater importance to company A goals. These tools are effective in concealing such behavior. But as recent events have shown, a Jumbotron or “Kiss Cam”, expose what was likely already obvious to many, and is a “Royal Flush” poker hand event, where the winnings are the expectations of employees impacted, the reputation of the company, and the demands of stakeholders for prompt corrective action, including publicly firing employees that engage in conduct that grossly violates company policy.
I can’t speak to policies of France. The issue with USA National Labs and holding a security clearance given our very explicit clearance policies, is being vulnerable to exploitation that could compromise national security and obviously your perceived trustworthiness.
If you don’t avoid or promptly disclose your conduct and get caught, and say, “well, they are cool with this behavior in France”, you might lose your security clearance.
Unless you are a Lab good old boy or gal, or are a DEI privileged employee without Jumbotron like exposure of your conduct.
Agreed. A high profile manager charged with a DUI, or a high profile swinging d_ck manager, usually get to keep “every aspect of their job” including their security clearance. It boils down to a conscious decision, to either let the employee face the consequences of misconduct with the LSO without leadership support, or preventing or politically “massaging”, what gets to the LSO with strong leadership support.
Those rules are for thee, not for me.
