At a startup ... anything goes. As it should ... if someone wants to take every piece of information they have electronically available with them, it is fairly easy to do so in a normal industry setting. Now if we are talking top secret type jobs / information, that's a different story. But don't fool yourself in a normal company - if someone wants copies, they will have them long before they resign or are laid off.

I am not sure about sales guys - do they really have hundreds of contacts that they can't remember and could retrace from memory after they leave? I am a technical guy and I never take anything. I don't have to take records to remember my vendors and friends in the business. None of that is secret either anyway.
