Where is the reporting on everyone else who was “tricked into” creating the bomb? Carpenters totally tricked. Landscapers totally tricked.
Actually, I’m doing the same thing. I’m tricking my gardener into creating everything I do while I work from home. I didn’t tell them at all what I do, so I tricked them into creating a data analysis.
This is a silly line of thought and seems to stem from the logical fallacy of “assuming intent without evidence.”
I once had an employee who spend large amounts of time complaining that I excluded them from meetings. They were going through my calendar and making lists of every meeting that didn’t include them and asking me to justify why I excluded them. Meetings that didn’t even show the title or material, just they the time was blocked.
This led to some surreal explanations where they were demanding to be invited to a 15 minute reminder for me to submit an abstract. Or my 1:1 mentoring sessions.
I could not understand their logic but it went something like everyone in the world should operate with their mental model and consider whether their actions would be better with this person participating.
Similarly, in this article, if you think that designs should be shared with pretty low-level employees (or maybe even contractors) for them to make an informed decision, then it’s tricking.
