how can we as programmers/IT field guys react when we are e.g. coerced into rigging systems

Refuse?



Forward the request to the nearest newspaper too.


I believe this is the kind of request that's usually delivered verbally only.


In the US, people have mortgages on houses to pay etc., so refusing might not be an option.


So in essence, financial security beats doing "the right thing", is that what you're saying?


I am not sure what I'd do, given I had a family to take care of and a house to pay-up-or-else, and I hope I will never be faced with such a decision.


Well that I can understand (I have a family to consider), but I'd like to think I'd be moral/insane enough to raise the stinky pinky at the request.
