I had many ideas for this page...ultimately I'm unable to express it in a proper way...!!!
Many companies (especially US companies) allow you to work from home...certainly they won't allow you to work from a jail...so maintain your ethics at work.
Just ask yourself....Is what he asked legal????....
Be truthful on application forms...resumes...and in interviews...In professional life..you need not to be corrupt...but you have to maipulate..
Most of the companies will ask you to sign an agreement (popularly known as "BOND")...In many cases it is a mere formalityPersonally I feel you should not talk about the confidential information with the others. The employer may sue you
Although most of the companies don't follow you, ditching the job is totally wrong... Try to get rid of a company legally..
