I can feel you on that.
I would never stoop to taking ideas from someone that showed me something in confidence, just not in my character and I think that is the actual definition of character. What you do when no one is looking.
I have had ideas stolen, fuck entire sites built around what I thought was a private talk with someone I felt was a friend at least. I can state with 100% certainty though that whatever is said to me in private, be it on the phone, via email, or ICQ is always considered to be an NDA in place. Even with silly shit. I have yet to disclose ICQ logs even to prove to others in public that what I was saying was true, I will not even start drama and take the hit if I can not prove it otherwise.
Only real exception to those rules would be if what is being discussed is the formation of the deal/contract/instructions/ for what was being ordered or paid for.
Same as you Fletch I have real issue dealing with let alone showing any rep my material unless I know them fairly well at least online and more often than not offline. They also can not be a job jumper. If I have seen them or companies post those letters saying congrats to both sides, we parted ways, it was time to stroke each other off and not say shit as to why I am quiting or you are firing me because we do not want to take the PR hit or that damn rep knows to damn much fucking information.
Now show me a rep or someone that sticks with a company for years, or someone that rarely changes a job - unless for instance they do short term consulting gigs which honestly rarely last longer than 1-3 months (no should they) and also no damn reason to post that you got that job.
