What's your business's unspoken, unwritten, unbreakable rule?

“Don’t get caught committing a felony”, okay, sure. But there’s more specific ones that are often forgotten by those who should know better.

Do you make security or defense software? Don’t sell it to someone at war with your country of residence.

Do you sell natural gas piped straight into people’s homes? Don’t skimp on the safety precautions that ensure you don’t blow up those homes.

Running a day care center? Don’t lie to the mama bears about their kids and then ignore them when caught.

Somehow, this stuff keeps happening. We can point to incompetence, greed, and malice, and we wouldn’t necessarily be wrong. But, just to be sure, we can also write down those unwritten rules.
