Blowing The Whistle

Another strategy for escaping a bad order is to do the "Blow the whistle" thing. One can do this by leaking, especially if there are lots of people in the know so that your leak isn't traceable. But of course it is more up front to just go public, although this will likely put you on the unemployment line for a while. Integrity has its price, especially in a world where it is becoming an increasingly rare commodity. --RaySchneider

Some idiot on the net once posted something like, "I only want to hire people who will stand up for what they think is right."

I replied, "I'm sick of getting fired for that; nowadays I'm very careful I never do it. Good luck finding a whole team like that!" --PhlIp
