<![CDATA[Annual compliance training day!]]>Annual compliance training day! So far I’ve learned:

- I’m not allowed to bribe anyone even if they’re outside the US
- I’m not allowed to commit fraud
- HIPAA is still a thing

Will keep you all updated

Yeah, I have to go through that training every year. Who the hell is going to bribe a software engineer, and when will I ever get the opportunity to bribe anyone? Just leave me alone with an editor and a compiler and let me get on with it.

ISTM that this training is an expensive arse-covering exercise for someone further up the food chain.

HR paperwork, or like… fired out of a cannon, dropped through a trapdoor…

And in multiple occasions.

People really shouldn’t need to be told that anyone can be a victim of harassment. That should just be a known fact in the Year of Perpetual Horrors 2026.

How could you possibly resist that bribe?

(Okay, I don't have a duck, but I can get one on short notice).

Yea; it wasn't long ago I was at a place where all of us employees had to take half a day of "update" training, as a result of a legal settlement. It did seem that our company's defense of management actions that clearly and obviously violated ethics and laws already clearly covered by the training, just "hadn't received sufficient training," and so the "remedy" was that the "gap in training" needed to be "covered," to avoid similar in the future. 🙄

But in the old days after the war you could declare a bribe a tax deductible business expense if you bribed for professional purposes as long as it happened abroad

Ours are always like "Which of the following is unethical" and the choices are like "eat a lollipop, visit a friend, admire some art, or murder children".

And then the next question will be some esoteric thing so far down the decision tree I may as well be guessing.

Always makes me laugh.

"Don't do the shitty thing" doesn't necessarily cross everyone's mind as the perspective of others isn't necessarily a factor.
