The corporate white knight

[azurelunatic]

If, say, your company's motto is "don't be evil", and you find yourself defending the company as a whole or any of its parts with arguments that boil down to "they're not evil, they're just misunderstood", on a monthly or more frequent basis?

Maybe it's time to sit down and re-evaluate your priorities and your exact definition of evil.

What have they done this time?

It would be nice if one day they woke up and went "...we've done all of this? OUR BAD. We'll get right on to fixing that."

Oh, well put.

Doesn't apply to google anyway.. they dropped the "don't be evil" motto a while ago.

The communists have a word for that.

Forserious. Everybody messes up occasionally, but when it starts to be a pattern, time to evaluate.
