What is Bob meant to do in this case? The program certainly isn't going to be shut down because an employee at a contractor has some objections.

- mhurron 13y agoWell Bob didn't feel the need to act on his supposed objections so I guess it wasn't that objectionable to him. Kinda says a lot about Bob. Not that this is a real situation anyway. The majority of the US agree with these programs.
- peterkelly 13y agoThis is like saying that a government isn't going to change just because of your one vote. It is incumbent upon all people working in our industry to make an ethical judgement about the projects they are working on, and decide whether or not they are comfortable with what is being done. If you find the work to be wrong, you don't have to risk your life by leaking info, but you can still leave the job. If enough people started having a conscience and didn't just take the "I'm just here for the money, I'll do whatever I'm told" attitude, then organisations running unethical programs will have difficulty retaining good staff.
- robryan 13y agoI took the story as Bob leaving because of being uneasy with what the job entailed. My comment was more saying leaving a position he found morally objectionable is the most he can do in this case.
