I say we, intentionally not naming the company, because 1) doing so tends to turn off people's brains and they default assume everything $company does is the correct way, but if I say something stupid I'd rather someone tell me, instead of assume someone at $company must know or couldn't possibly know. 2) I say we, because I'm speaking for myself, (and maybe a tiny bit) for my 2 friends still running the BB program at what possibly should describe as my former company, but then I've always exclusively been speaking for me, not about them... So I'm still not gonna name them, it wouldn't be hard to figure out who they were, with a likely-trivial amount of effort if feel the need to know... but if you'd rather, I'd encourage you to imagine I work at the worst company you can name or imagine, so you can use that to discard anything I've said. Because I'd rather be judged on my argument, not who hired me that one time.

Then say “When I was at my old school” - not “we”.

  No thank you. I meant it when I said it intentionally. I still run BB programs the same way, and expect others to behave similarly. Funny enough I was just talking to that friend this week, about the BB program. Nothing has changed so given my friends still follow the same pattern at that company... We is more accurate. Sorry it bothers you, but not everyone is you.

    Nothing you said (in isolation) is “bothering” me, but the ridiculous contradictions in what you’re saying are difficult to ignore. You went from implicitly speaking for a bug bounty team, to not speaking for one (but sort of your colleagues?), to now unabashedly speaking for TWO bug bounty teams …without even naming an industry?
