The Ethicist: Poaching Clients at Work

Randy Cohen, the New York Times Magazine ethicist, weighs in on a listener's dilemma over finding clients for his own business while at work. Paul, who works for a Web design company, wants to know whether it's ethical for him to go after clients on his own if they've already turned down the company for being too expensive.
