Of course, you often get no choice in what you do when upper management says 'just do it'. It's that, or asshat exec decides to wreck your career, fire you, etc, etc,
A federal judge in Detroit ... of course..
- throwitaway333 9y agoIn regards to the execs and CEO: I completely agree that it's terrible. > you often get no choice in what you do when upper management says 'just do it' You always have a choice. You can quit. If your boss told you to rob a bank, would you do it? It's a more severe crime but it's still your boss saying "break the law or I'll fire you". It's simply a matter of where you draw the line, of how far into unethical territory you're willing to go for money.
