In an ideal world, yes, but I reside in a very similar country, and have seen and heard too many similar stories to be naive. I think the best thing that can be done is to blog about it like this; someone in Visa corporate will take notice and changes will be made, hopefully for the better.
- DanBC 14y agoVisa is a multi-billion dollar international company with strict regulatory controls. For them to say that "preventing some of our employees from breaking the law is hard" is not good enough. I accept that no organisation is going to achieve total legal compliance. But sometimes it feels as if some companies feel above the law; as if they are untouchable. As if, indeed, they are too big to fail.
- dlikhten 14y ago"too big to fail" I wonder if facebook fails, will that be a good thing where a lot of developers get on the market thus allowing startups to hire :P?

- nico 14y agoThat is just an excuse. If big companies really care, they can make it happen. For example I know several people who work at Walmart in Chile, and they've told me about the very strict rules the company has for negotiating contracts and dealing with vendors, breaking those rules is considered a very serious issue and usually ends on the person who broke those rules getting fired.
