It the same and similar with management. Each claims that a new idea is 100 % theirs or at the best / worst the application of the principles of the program are “entirely theirs”. On the other side if the program fails you can bet your bottom dollar that no one will be there to talk credit and responsibility except a “faceless committee” of which non of the former self proclaimed stalwarts held any authority or sway.

“I was just a small man”…. “I was just following company procedure / procedures / emails / edicts ” etc etc etc .

Many in management and upper management use the refrains “It’s Company Policy”  or “This is classified as a company perk”

Such logic and answers were dealt with and handled at the Nuremberg Trials after the Second World War. Reasons and answers such as “I was just following orders ” and “I was just a small man”  were no excuse.   Imagine this if you can – people are promoted to management for their skills and experience in making well thought good judgments possessing sound judgment skills and then proceed to hide behind such flimsy logic and reasons.  Do they think that they are dealing with idiots in terms of workers and shareholders.  Then again perhaps they are.

In many companies , sacred cows are perpetuated by the classic catch -22/  that if it is still around , then it must work , because it is still around”.  This is the logic of a former owner / manager of a disreputable temporary employment agency who when asked by a neighboring firm that his staff was pilfering and involved in theft of goods and cash from the second business , who now had to be on vigilant watch.  The moronic low life “manager”  apparently replied ” That is not so”  “We are one big family” “That could never happen”.  All the while the staff were involved with the sale of contraband on the side  while upper management was involved in some not well thought out interactions with staff members on a daily basis.  The comment may well have been correct and accurate.  In many , if not most cases , people use their family of origins as their basis of standards in their lives.  If you grow up with miles as your standard measurement of distance and speed then any metric measurement will automatically be compared to your yardstick of miles for measurement for assessment.  In the case of dysfunctional families , the family situation is taken as a yardstick and standard.  The staff members may well have been acting “like a family”  , even a cohesive family.  Only one problem that standard was of a dysfunctional families of liars , cheats and thieves were theft was a perfectly normal and standard fact of any “ordinary family”  .  The amazing parts are firstly why do not , apparently intelligent ( or in this case not intelligent) members of society cling to these poor values in spite of evidence that these are not good terms .  There are two answers

1) because even if it is a poor standard , you know that in the pinch they will “work “  to some degree and can be counted on

2)  the answer found in many corporations “  It is policy”  or “It is always been done this way”.

What a bunch of stupid morons.
