Loyalty oath

Countrywide Financial Corporation's loyalty bracelet bearing the slogan "Protect Our House".[1] In 2007, employees were issued the wristbands upon signing a loyalty oath. According to a senior CFC officer, the consequence of not getting such a wristband was "I will lose my job."[2]

A loyalty oath is a pledge of allegiance to an organization, institution, or state of which an individual is a member. In the United States, such an oath has often indicated that the affiant has not been a member of a particular organization or organizations mentioned in the oath. The U.S. Supreme Court allows the oath to be a form of legal document.[3]
