A former employer told me they thought it was unethical for employees to take source files when they leave the firm, because the files belong to the firm and I could then make derivative works if I so chose. But why the hell would I rip myself or the firm off? I only intended to use the files for the sake of showing my portfolio. And even then, I honored work that was not yet published or restricted by an NDA. One of my favorite logos, in fact, might never see the light of day in my portfolio because I signed an NDA. It sucks, but I'm a man of my word.
Some people have such twisted ideas about ethics. It almost always boils down to insecurity, paranoia, ego, and a lack of trust that people will show common decency. I understand that people shouldn't be trusted until proven trustworthy, but you'd think after working very closely with someone for a few years that they'd have a strong sense of your character.
Case in point: the day I left my last job, I was asked not to show work in my portfolio that I didn't do. Seriously? After working with me day in/ day out for three years, seeing the long hours pulled on many projects, the honesty and integrity shown in every situation, why on earth would someone say such a thing to me? Why would any self-respecting designer show work in which they weren't involved, especially coming from a small studio? I ain't no Batesoler, Jim.
- I just have a problem when like 3-5 ex-employees show me the same exact work, who did what?Jamal_Jenkins
- Sure. Doesn't apply to my situation though. Every project was directed by the owner, but on all but two pieces in my folio, I was the design lead.Scotch_Roman
- I was the sole designer.Scotch_Roman
- Again, my former boss refined everything through her direction, but I did most of the work.Scotch_Roman
- that is fine then, just be sure to add your former in the creditsJamal_Jenkins
- designer: you
Agency: your former firmJamal_Jenkins - Done. See every single project description on my site...Scotch_Roman
- My credit line is "designed with the team at KLI", which is really giving them more credit in some instancesScotch_Roman
- It's just that the former boss was always hammering into us the fact that we were a team.Scotch_Roman
- So, I wrote it the way she would, even though it makes my role seem smaller at times.Scotch_Roman
- Simple fact is, people are cunts. The older I get, the more I hate most people.noRBG
- Learn from experience to hate people. It's the only way!noRBG
- you honorable Scotch!Jamal_Jenkins

Gather your work onto a drive so you have it for later. If he was an asshat (to borrow from word of the day thread) to you over IM, then print out histories just in case.

I dunno, I think it takes 2 to tango. if you think he's a prick, then I bet you he feels the same about you.
never seen a work relationship break down completely where it is only one persons fault.
- maybe both feel each other are a prick, but sometimes only one is for a warranted reason.ephix
