It does seem to be low scale cheating but a culture of writing and distributing internal software to cheat on tests required for certification sounds toxic.

- jmckib 11y agoSomeone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe they were cheating on the broker license course, not the exam. It would be similar to skipping a class with an attendance policy because you already know the material.
- st3v3r 11y agoIt still shows an incredible amount of unethical behavior, and more of this pattern of "I'm a startup! I'm special! The law shouldn't apply to me!" Special snowflake syndrome, just exhibited by a company.

- Pxtl 11y agoWe don't know how formally it was distributed. "Oh crap this is frustrating, I keep trying to do the course while I work and it keeps logging me out. Maybe I can whip up a macro..." "Hey Bob, you getting logged out all the time? No, I made a macro" "So here's the training course newbie, and if you start getting logged out all the time there's a macro on the file share you can use to block that." Obviously they could be evil scofflaws, but this kind of violation can easily happen gradually in a frog-boiling way.
