More than once I witnessed questions to the effect of "how far can we go before we break the law" be asked. The person who asked had full knowledge his/her plans were illegal. He/She just needed to know where to stop.
This statement is completely nonsensical. If the person had full knowledge that the plans were illegal, why would he/she ask how far they can go before breaking the law? He/she clearly didn't know where the boundaries were.
Huh? A person can have a plan to go from 0-100 miles an hour and ask where the speedlimit is. Stories similar in a business environment are reasonably normal. "Compliance" is strictly a legal CYA department (as is anything relating to HR or "Ethics", btw.)
This conversation between you and you is getting complicated. Maybe he/she (the parent post of my parent post) has credible information about he/she and does not want to expose the he/she's company or who he/she is referencing. I am a he, in case you would like to refer to me in your response. Please let me know your sex too.
Well, that's a good thing right? You're pretty much saying "I knew this person once who wanted to do something, knew it was illegal and so scaled back their plans to fit within the law. What a scumbag."
