Seems an overkill way to get the concern addressed. I imagine backing up the records for one or all of the managers ignoring him and then deleting the live copy would have gotten the attention he wanted with less of the consequences.
Perhaps there wasn't a way to do that without logging into his own account.
- luismedel 4y agoNever do this. Always use the official channels to push any idea you consider worth. But never, ever, delete data, even with the best of your intentions.
- samhw 4y agoYeah, you never know if the backup is really working, or if the deletion might (in some obviously-deeply-flawed logic/architecture) get streamed to the replica/backup, etc. I'm not taking a position on the workplace ethics issue, but from a sheerly technical standpoint I would not characterise that as a safe course of action, like that person seemed to be representing it.
