On: Some Amazon employees bought NYC condos before news of HQ2 location emerged

[refurb]

My company requires employees to sign a document that they won’t use confidential company info for personal gain.

If we go down that rabbit hole, are you allowed to perform well in your job using confidential information in order to gain a promotion?

[refurb → dsamarin]

The actual language specifies personal gain outside of work.

That said, I don’t think they have any mechanism to enforce it.

"We're going to ask you to move to New York, but don't use that to personally gain housing"?

[starshadowx2 → majormajor]

The question is whether they bought that housing for themselves because they're being moved or if they bought it to resell at a profit because they had internal knowledge of this neighbourhood being used for HQ2.
