I found much more peace as an employee by accepting that all executives lie to some degree
In their circles it’s called “controlling the message”, “not causing panic”, “simplifying” etc. They often simply do not believe it’s lying

- findingaway 4y agoThe greatest idea since sliced bread... too bad that leaves a vanishingly small pool of potential work. "Working as Intended"
- JTbane 4y agoPull Request: Remove "Don't be evil" from the Code of Conduct.
- johnnyanmac 4y agoyou best bet of doing that is spinning off your own company. I unfortunately cannot afford to do that.
- ceph_ 4y agoI think it's realistic to assume that this happens but it doesn't mean it should be accepted. How can you trust in the leadership of someone you know will lie whenever they think it will get them a slightly better outcome? Execs like that are not leaders and they should not be in those positions.
- vkou 4y ago> How can you trust in the leadership You shouldn't. At best, they are fellow travelers. At worst, they aren't accountable to you, and their incentive structure usually does not drive them to behave ethically towards you. Execs aren't paid to lead, they are paid to deliver business value. Ethical leadership is often incidental or counterproductive to it. In this case, the execs were paid to do everything possible to promote and grow the product. And that's what they did.
