If you really need to Formulate a Policy, I might suggest tit-for-two-tats. Variations of tit-for-tat tended to be runners-up in Axlerod's famous tournament, and since the world is not *precisely* an indefinite series of prisoner's dilemmas, there's no reason to assume that tit-for-tat is the only way to live. Also, of course, our choices don't boil down to a binary tit/tat... there's a sliding scale of severity in your choice of "tat"s: "say something about it"; "complain loudly"; "throw tantrum"; "threaten to quit"; "give notice"; "just walk"; "throw stink-bombs"...
