To Original Ethics in IT Post (Score 2)

I have worked in every aspect of IT from phone support to network security for some of the biggest companies in central texas and have to say there is a fine line between ethics and doing whatever it takes to get the job done. I have witnessed business managers who tell you to load software with no license to get people productive now then worry about the paperwork later often not at all. I have also seen IT managers that use the IT department as their own little playhouse for personal gain. I recently had the opportunity to see an ethical explosion first hand when a disgruntled employee tried to bring "piracy and missuse of company assets for personal gain to the attention of management who then burried it they don't care they don't want to know they just want things to work. I guess ultimately as in any other profession you have the good with the bad. I do miss the good ol days though!!
