There are environments (unfortunately, I work in one now) where management hasn't figured out the advantages of having a lot more discipline over what can be done in a production environment. He didn't lie, cheat, sneak, break the law, or steal -- THOSE are unethical. He followed instructions. Was it unwise? Hell yes! Worth escalating above the head of his boss? Depends on who's above the boss! But if there weren't such adverse consequences, this wouldn't even be an issue. | |

@JaneS it is not clear for me how does this violates be nice policy? As far as I understood be nice does not mean confirm OP's belief and explain him that he is correct and everyone else is to blame.
