Yeah, a long time ago, I went to work in a little consulting company. It was perhaps 6 people. I found out why they hired me, and it wasn't for my technical skill. They wanted me to break customers' things and then lie to customers. The reasoning was, that contracts were reviewed and renewed yearly. The worst came down was for a japanese factory (back with Windows NT4.6 and Win98 clients). Half the engineering staff was Japanese and half were American... I think you see where this is going. Files were being sent to the server, but being WinNT 4, couldn't read japanese files. So half of their enterprise was not being backed up. I mentioned this to my manager, and they threatened me with a lawsuit if I said anything. I quit right there, and then went to the client and told them what I was aware of. Soon after, they lost the contract (shocked, I say!). Not too long afterward, their building caught on fire, and their VP ran. Last I heard was that he was wanted by the FBI for suspected arson.. Thankfully, I've not worked in small shops like that since.
