Countrywide Financial Corporation's Loyalty oath bracelet.[15] In 2007, the consequence of not signing a loyalty oath was "lose my job".[16]

Reads like a wikipedia parody site. Are they insinuating that "lose my job" is an euphemism for something?

It's just an inelegant rendering of a quote in [16]:

A very good friend of mine holds a very senior position at Countrywide. He called me this morning and said that he needs to get a green wristband saying "protect our house" on it and that he will need to wear it all of the time (at work and outside work as it is not removable). I asked him what the consequences of not getting such a wristband. He said "then, I will lose my job."
