Rewarding Lies

In 2007-8, Infosys rubber-stamped several teams with skills they didn't have and delivered some world-class malware to Boeing.

Boeing's top finally popped and they threatened to cancel contracts so Infosys hired me to fix it. And I turned it around, restored some confidence, increased quality, and calmed Boeing down after a year.

What did Infosys learn from that? They learned they could KEEP LYING and an idiot like me would bail them out again. They continued with their billing, resume and visa fraud so I quit. A year later Boeing canceled their contracts and the new contractor, Tata, wanted me back but I took the flaky T-Mobile job because of my ego. :)

When you reward lies, you get more lies.

When you reward stupidity, you get more stupidity.

When you punish honesty, you get less of it.
