Saved me the bother of saying the same thing.
Employees generally know what's going on at a company, even
when the brass tries to keep it from them.
Anything that I did at a company worked towards achieving
their goals. I was part of it, whether I liked it or not. But
I was still part of it. No disclaimers will wash that away.
There are companies that I really should have walked away
from. I am responsible for what happened under my watch.

That's not really fair. It's not like most MS employees are actually doing
anything wrong.
If a hypothetical MS employee is involved in these schemes like say...
implementing a change to break windows when run on DR-DOS then yep, they're
guilty. Your analogy is fine here.
However, if they're not actually involved at all and just happen to work at the
same company - even on the same product - then no, that's kind of absurd. You
can argue they're still guilty of enabling here I guess (and they are), but you
can find pretty much anyone guilty of something through that line of reasoning.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

I'll reply to your comment, PJ, but this applies to the
Anonymous comment below yours (the one listing the "Just
doing their job" lines).
By your reasoning, the janitors at Microsoft should feel
like they're in the mob. Because they clean toilets for
Microsoft, they're just as guilty as the idiots who are
pushing these suits.
That's what my point in making general statements about a
company, and their employees was for. I realize in my
original post, I mentioned jobs that would be closer to the
issue, and I should have went for something a lot further
out.
For the Anonymous person who posted the "just doing their
job" comment, I find it hard to equate creating a software
product with building (and using) an atomic bomb. Unless of
course it's the guidance system for that bomb.
Have a great day. :)
