I realize this will get you along but if everyone does this, nothing changes.

Also the cost of these lies are immense for companies, managers, employees and customers. Assigning employee A for one task and B for the other although it should be reverse. IMHO that's also the reason why companies ship products that are profoundly bad for their customers and only "realize" this after many years.

I know of a few people for who that is the reason why they prefer working in startups.
