As with many corrupt organizations Enron was full of good people who had no power and never did anything morally wrong.
A select few held the power or agency to act selfishly and did so.
It didn’t become apparent to many employees that something was amiss until shortly before the FBI raided them.
- dasil003 6y agoOf course we can't paint all employees of any company with one brush, but I don't think we should let the majority of Enron employees off the hook so easily. That kind of systemic fraud requires cooperation or at least a large number of individuals to look the other way. I realize some innocent people's reputation will be hurt, but there needs to be some social pressure for whistle blowers otherwise the risk reward is always such that "a few bad apples" will take the risk enabled by the silent majority "just doing their jobs".
