There is something almost touching about the candour and trust with which Siemens went about a very dirty business. Take the 3 “cash desks” it set up in its offices, to which employees could bring empty suitcases to be filled with cash. As much as $1.4m could be withdrawn at a time to win contracts for its telecoms-equipment division
Ha. And to think that I recently got an unsolicited request to talk to them about making Siemens attractive for employees in a googly way. I told them it is not a marketing / hr problem and needs to start with the CEO.
