Just Who's The Boss Here?

摘要

Here's a thought experiment: Let's say you own a company and your rivals have acted outrageously. They haven't just been competing with you, they've been sabotaging your operations, menacing your employees, and damaging your property and equipment. So you hire a security expert. You give him a large budget and wide authority to investigate and protect your company against these outside threats. The expert gets to work. You feel safer for a while. Then questions arise. Big ones. There are rumors that your security guy is investigating your own people, even though they're not the threat-and even though you told him from the get-go he didn't have that authority. Then there's another attack from the usual outside forces. It's a small one. You're horrified to learn that your security guy knew in advance about the perpetrators-and ignored all warnings.
