- snozolli 4y agoAh, yes, giving management that sweet plausible deniability. Just create an impossible demand on your workers and then act surprised when they employ unethical practices to meet those demands. Just like Wells Fargo. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wells_Fargo_cross-selling_scandal https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wells_Fargo_cross-selling_sc...
- abduhl 4y agoThat isn’t what I said. I said that the person who commits the crime should be the first one to go to jail. That implies others should follow.
- justinclift 4y agoOften times, the crime that's committed is because the boss told them to do it, then threatened the engineer when they initially said No.
- abduhl 4y agoYes well that’s how a lot of crime happens. We don’t avoid prosecuting a triggerman, carjacker, or bank robber just because they got the order and were threatened for not complying. Even the Eichmanns that were just following orders went to Nuremberg.
- diordiderot 4y ago> We don’t avoid prosecuting a triggerman, carjacker, or bank robber Well we do give them massively commuted sentences for cooperating
- abduhl 4y agoBut we still require them to cooperate and take responsibility instead of what most software engineers try to do which is blame management (like the prior poster I was replying to).
