Mindless job activity can be hazardous

When people get frustrated enough, they start to do really dumb things - they self-sabotage.

And when you get in the habit of just doing what you're told, you're at risk if ordered to do something dangerous or illegal. That's what happened to some of the folks at Worldcomm.

Even if you're not in legal jeopardy, you could be embarrassed if you're caught in a news story or have to explain to a future employer.
