Yes but some corporations have more responsibility than others to implement
safeguards. I'm happy to say my company has made it a point to keep workers
in the US and not export all work out of the country.  One employee campaign
has been to instill trust in the employee and our products, and they are
very keen on that score.  They are very big on keeping to the line regarding
honesty and trust; every time they have messed up they have not denied
wrong-doing but have admitted they were at fault and made restitution.  No
one's perfect and they'd be the first to admit that but on the other hand
they take responsibility, too.  Not every corporation will do that.

Another corporation in NC where I live, is SAS, a software company based in
the Research Triangle that consistently places in the top ten companies to
work for in the US.  They have an excellent reputation for being a great
employer and a community participant.
