Interview with a Man who thought he was developing Tech to save the world; discovered company was hurting people & out of alignment with his values.

Interview with a Man who thought he was developing Tech to save the world; discovered company was hurting people & out of alignment with his values.

In Q4 2017 I had a charming night in #NevadaCity. The narrow hilly roads of this small town that sprouted up as a result of the #GoldRush is populated by "health" and #conscious seeking hippies. (It was too far left for me, but I feel it's important to respect all legal belief systems and ways of life. I am middle of the road Democrat, and am into #RawJuice & #ScienceBased#Meditation.) I was there for an #EstateAcquisition and other reasons.

At a local restaurant, I was working on my laptop. A senior man arrived, and there was no seating. I looked at him, and told him that he could have mine, I was just wrapping up. (Even though I wasn't; he needed the seat more.)

I asked him about himself and he shared with me, what I felt was an inspiring story, at the time. Only after my 2018 court filings #against #fraud, I realized the #darker implications of what this man was referencing.

He stated that he had been a young bright engineer in the Bay Area, hired at a company that he believed was going to change the world. He said he felt passionate, and committed to his work with a world class genius team.

He said it wasn't until the past some years, when he had the time to reflect upon his life.

His tone reminded me of #TuesdaysWithMorrie https://amzn.to/47EAU0I.

He stated that he reviewed what the company he worked for was doing. He said he was still bound by #NDA, but that the corporation he believed was helping humanity, was actually #hurting people, behaving #unscrupulously. This is all he would say, as he shook his head in #disagreement with their actions and looked down at his feet to my #right, indicating that he was accessing how he #felt about their acts.

He then lifted his face, and looked at my eyes, imploring and apologetic. He looked like what reminded me of hospital patients where in TBI, cannot speak, and he was trying to convey a deep message with his eyes and emotions alone.

He said he had been going through a personal life inventory, and apologizing to the people that had been hurt by this company, as a result of the tech he helped invent and develop.

He then switched the topic. He was NDA, and had gotten as close as he was legally capable of.

Corporate Problems, are People Problems

All "corporate problems, are people problems".

This is a go-to phrase of mine, when doing turn-around for companies up to 40M, and Mergers, Acquisitions, Exits up to 200M.

"Good Companies" will follow the law, even if it costs more.

"Good Companies" value empathy over narcissism & anti-social traits that damage, like gossiping and cultures of speaking negatively or "spying" on co-workers (in contract to healthy open communication and focus on team spirit plus self- growth).

"Good Leaders" will screen for #narcissism, anti-social traits, insider espionage; preventing their hire; and also quickly firing those individuals who initially pass the screening before their true colors show.

One bad apple absolutely spoils the barrel. The rot spreads. (Homeless To Billionaire https://amzn.to/3OMjAhw.)

"Good Leaders" foster open round-table communication, and hears all parties side, at the same time.

(If ever there was a problem with employees, we'd have all people sit down at the table the first time, as private meetings encourage falsification and time to develop the tale, whereas hashing it all out at once, with all people, if you're trained in behaviorism, face reading & lie detection, the truth and lies are always transparent; the element of surprise wins the victory against the employee who is doing wrong.)

Benzene in Paint Thinner

#Predator in Cumberland County who has a 1980's court case regarding child sex abuse & presently traffics in opioids 2023; Benzene is one chemical preference he had in his tool bag.

The wife of his son was diagnosed with cancer (where they became estranged once she disapproved of his escort habit); as well as his high-school friend who is an attorney (who he complained failed to prevent some of his court room drama in the 1980's). He shared revenge stories during an #interview he granted.

The paint thinner was by his computer with price tags. He took pleasure in telling the story with his revenge fantasies. I had to look up if he was simply daydreaming as an element of his anti-social desires, or if the threats he was referring to were actually real. #Benzene in #PaintThinner is linked to #cancer. It can also cause #CardioVascularDisease. There is a third victim who was hospitalized for CVD recently.
