It’s human nature to scratch each other’s backs. It’s happening, will continue to happen, and there’s little which can be done.
It’s always a game of cat and mouse. Legalizing small time bribery where it can be done out in the open would probably be far more effective then advocating for things like increased workplace surveillance.
Thinking commerce can happen without corruption or kickbacks is just naive.

I read the book awhile ago and practice it extensively in my personal and work life.
Being up front and honest about what you want, including what you don’t want, is an incredible force multiplier.
Some people can’t handle it and that’s ok with me. It just means we likely won’t work together effectively. I view it as a matter of maturity, we’re all adults here.

Being open and honest is always the best path. Especially when you disagree.
