Comments on: Cluetrain-a-Day 2009: Most marketing programs are based on the fear that the market might see what's really going on inside the company. http://dangerouslyawesome.com/2009/02/cluetrain-a-day-2009-most-marketing-programs-are-based-on-the-fear-that-the-market-might-see-whats-really-going-on-inside-the-company/ Alex Hillman Writes Here Mon, 06 Feb 2012 14:50:12 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Amy http://dangerouslyawesome.com/2009/02/cluetrain-a-day-2009-most-marketing-programs-are-based-on-the-fear-that-the-market-might-see-whats-really-going-on-inside-the-company/comment-page-1/#comment-1263 Amy Sun, 15 Feb 2009 00:32:57 +0000 http://www.dangerouslyawesome.com/?p=1204#comment-1263 <p>Too true.</p> <p>And sadly, I think most people behave the same way.</p> <p>I have met far too many people in my life who think that they'll "get away" with whatever it is that they're doing that they know they shouldn't be doing (however minor), as long as they hide it.

I have met far too many people in my life who think that they’ll “get away” with whatever it is that they’re doing that they know they shouldn’t be doing (however minor), as long as they hide it. In the end, they still can’t escape from themselves, and they know they’ve been doing it (whatever it is), and the psychic effort from hiding it successfully (or so they think) costs them 10x more than it would to just admit it, be open about it, and then stop.

In a person, it’s just sheer humanity shining through.

In a company, it quickly becomes pathological.
