But you are conceding the point, aren&#x27;t you? It does not matter if you do the wrong thing because you are an incompetent hack or because you are a low status pawn that got cornered by management into choosing the least worse of a bunch of bad options. The fact remains that a weak solution was implemented, by you, and that it is a matter of time before your employer and their customers suffer the consequences.<p>I&#x27;d like to believe that if we were like doctors and our managers came up with some incredibly stupid idea like &quot;let&#x27;s save cost by reusing hypodermic needles&quot;, we could simply refuse to work and force the penny pinchers to back off. But the cynic in me tells me that doctors have to fight every single day to fend off a parade of equally misguided (though not recognizable as such by the public) ideas, and that more often than not, they end up choosing to keep their own families fed and clothed over the theoretical Hippocratic Oath.
