Take some responsibility and ownership for the authority and soft power you wield as a very senior individual contributor.
You've been in this industry too long, and have risen too far to not feel a sense of personal investment and responsibility to 1) the benchmarks your company publishes about your product, and 2) the policies around public experimentation and transparency with that product.
Talk to your manager, talk to his manager, figure out who is responsible for both and FIX IT. You are the only major provider that has a DeWitt Clause. It's embarrassing.
- robertlagrant 5y agoIf you bother to read the thread the CEO has already commented to say they're changing that ToS. Why give advice that no-one asked for and no-one needed? Isn't that pretty much the worst?
- kentonv 5y agoMy manager's manager is the CEO. Yes, we all discussed it and everyone agreed the clause should be removed, but at the time of my comment I wasn't sure if I was authorized to announce that publicly. He has since posted in this thread.
