Unethical behavior

I've seen some serious political wranglings over the years but this article in today's Ottawa Citizen describes a particularly nasty situation; calling it unethical is an understatement.  It is a bit long but in my opinion worth the read. 

For the record let me state that I know none of the parties to this conflict and nothing about its particulars except for what is described it the article.  That being said, if you find yourself in a situation like this there is no option but to fight with all you've got.

Pat, it might sound harsh, but viewing this from 'down under' it seems to represent the world wide drive, born and nurtured by North American (primarily USA) attitude whereby the end justifies the means and human values take a back seat. You don't have to search far, just look at the quality TV streaming out of the US, like the Apprentice and other similar reality shows, and the seeds of this attitude are not difficult to identify.

Shim,

Thanks for the comments. I sure hope that we are not going to all live a reality show life although it may seem that way at times.

The case discussed in the article centers around greed and, at some level, around miscommunications.

Some of the pain appears self inflicted but the response was out of proportion with the offense. I would think anyone that read the article would have serious misgivings working for that company.
