  • I’ve been on Lemmy for a while and the sheer naive idealism on here boggles me sometimes. You guys think “megacorp is evil and stoopid”, when realistically the person who discovered the breach freaks out because he may lose his job and is the sole breadwinner of the family, then takes it to his manager, who isn’t in a much better position. It bounces through a few low level admins and teams trying to figure out the extent, since there are hundreds of applications and systems, all while the clock is ticking by what you want to see. Only once they have things does it get bubbled up because they want to make sure they can answer to the VP in hopefully a way they won’t be scapegoated and lose their jobs. Finally it may get to the people who do have control of information but by now it’s been a while and past your idealistic timeframe. All because a common working man doesn’t want to become homeless.

    But sure, blame the corporation, because it’s a single monolithic entity that you can focus your ire on instead of showing some sympathy for the working people, who are also here on Lemmy, fearing for their jobs.
