who is this "we" are you referring to? to me, assholes are assholes. be it a man, woman, it, or anything in between. especially if this person works in adtech and adjacent industry.

seems like a problem with your education system. I think there's this thing called ethics, not sure if they teach it there.

There's an awful, awful problem with our education system (I am from the UK). It is in ruins, completely unfit for purpose in a modern technological society. As for ethics, you're right, we absolutely don't teach it. Worse, we actively downplay or avoid it. I speak from experience of witnessing that first hand. The result: a cult of personality, self-aggrandisement, conquest, kleptomania, and domination passed-off as "business". I absolutely agree that education has lost its way. Do please read my piece about it in the Times HE next week.
