"On the other hand, IPO's as a quid pro quo amounts to kickbacks, and that should be against policy." Agreed. Not only policy but the law. "When I worked at ABC my favored clients came as guests to the Olympics and got seats between the forties at the Superbowl. Business is business. If they had company policies restricting their ability to accept these invitations (some did, most didn't), then they said so. If they came in spite of it they got fired. They never got free money though. " I understand this and agree with it.
