Your colleagues, maybe not, but certainly you are culpable for your direct reports. And we are not talking about rogue employees here performing one-off acts such as absconding with private/privileged data, but rather an institution-wide mode of operation that is deliberate and determined by a favourable cost-profit analysis. Yes, if you advocate that or even tacitly support it, you should definitely stand to lose your shirt. If that’s too much for you, gardening is always available as an occupation. Others will be happy to fill your shoes. Ex: If you are the CEO of Juul, you definitely need to go to jail. I see Juul marketed to kids everywhere. Once science confirms that it’s just as harmful as cigarettes, I want all the C-levels in jail and their fortunes stripped. I don’t for one second believe that they thought such a product could not possibly be harmful. They are there to make a profit, end-user health be damned.

We are responsible for our own actions and not the actions of our children or siblings nor employees. This might be surprising, but that is a relatively new concept. It was quite common in the ancient world to execute people for crimes their family or clan did. I suggest being very careful overriding millennia of legal precedent and human rights laws because you're upset about something Apple did. Almost everytime pitchforks get drawn and torches lit it ends badly--regardless of which side of the pitchforks you're on.

There’s no way that ecigs are as harmful as cigs, so you might be waiting a long time.

> Your colleagues, maybe not, but certainly you are culpable for your direct reports. Should we jail parents if their children commit crimes? If anything, a parent has more influence upon their child than a manager has upon a direct report.
