    The manager 2 or 3 levels above the staff needs to be taking the heat. The folks who make the decisions and metrics that induce this kind of behavior.

      Oh, are we going back to “I was just following orders” being an excuse?

        I thought the Nuremberg trials were mostly officers? So the middle managers couldn’t blame the CEO.

          I don’t care? The Nuremburg trials aren’t the source of basic morality and ethics. They aren’t even a particularly good example of it, if you’ve actually got any familiarity with what actually happened.

              For one, the fact that whether someone was tried and convicted was generally not based on guilt, but whether or not they were of use to the allies or not.

              Werner Von Braun was probably the most famous example, but there are hundreds of others.
