Properties
Instance of
Post-Public-ServiceConflictAvoidance
http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#Post-Public-ServiceConflictAvoidance
Applied to

Balancing with
Engineer's right to pursue private employment
Loyalty to Company Y
Concrete expression

Confidence
0.9
Importance
high
Interpretation
The prior public relationship with Company X's confidential regulatory submissions creates an appearance and reality of improper competitive advantage if Engineer A joins Company Y without disclosure and appropriate safeguards
Invoked by
Engineer A Confidentiality-Bound Government Agency Engineer
Tension resolution
The post-public-service conflict avoidance principle requires at minimum full disclosure to Company Y of the prior access to Company X's confidential information, and may require recusal from work involving Company X or declining the employment altogether
