During a bid to offer, I was asked to give a good review of one of the prospects by my N+2. I gave the honest bad review this bidder deserve and left immediately after. No other engineer has wanted to replace me. Later the call to offer got cancelled, my ex-N+2 let go.

I understood that if I refuse to do something, there is a substantial possibility that nobody else will do it. If I accept contributing to something malevolent, it makes me complicit.

What we know is rare.
