I was never really concerned about the ethics, but was more worried that I'd be personally liable for it. I kept thinking about the VW emissions scandal, where the engineer that implemented it was given prison time.

In hindsight, it was probably a stupid thing for me to worry about. I also never should have expected that I'd be able to change the director's mind by refusing to do what he said.

Wrong take.

You did the right thing. Fuck that guy.

[horrible-hilde]

you absolutely did the right thing. Are you doing well now?

Yes, I bounced back.

Getting soft-fired really shook me, and it was a hit to my self-confidence. I did learn some valuable life-lessons from it though, and including that nobody should ignore office politics.

Afterwards, I found a job that was a much better fit. That next job changed the direction of my career, and I'm very happy with where I am now.
