One Bad Apple
Why do folks always seem to omit the second half of that saying?
"One bad apple spoils the barrel."
It is as true now as it ever was. Tolerate bad behavior from a few (even one) member of an organization and the entire organization will inevitably be corrupted. It was not (until maybe a few decades ago) a simple substitute for the equally inane excuse of "Boys will be boys"
That said, before we crucify anybody, we need to answer the question of who offered/requested the bribe and whether the other party agreed to it, or reported it.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
