Bob the World Builder Interviews Kyle Brink

Yeah that doesn’t mean what you implied it means, IMO.

Or at least, i think you’re misreading the tone. He’s pretty clearly offering an out to someone who would normally just be terminated, regardless of Kyle’s feelings on the matter.

The more accurate summary would be, “Wow Kyle Brink is really trying to avoid the leakers being in big trouble!”

Did y’all listen to it or just read that bit?

I listened to it before I read any post in this thread.

I listened to it to and disagree with your take

Sorry. If your boss comes to you and says your job is on the line based on the outcome of some execution of a “salvage strategy”? You’re in trouble.

I sincerely asked. That wasn’t appreciated.

Well, yeah, if you leak confidential information of the company that employs you (that isn't about illegal activity at the company) then you're in trouble. If someone comes to Kyle and admits that they screwed up, and it's determined that they didn't do it for personal gain, they'll probably be retained, because coming forward would help regain trust with your employer.

But look. It was a comment on a podcast and I realize no matter how I talke it it might not actually reflect reality when the rubber hits the road.

I do not have much exposure to Bob the Builder but he seems like a really nice dude. He was gentle (and thoughtful) in his tone and approach.

Bob the Builder is the Bob Ross of D&D YouTubers, for sure.

Well, sure, but the internal leaks here are automatic big trouble: my manager loves me, but if I leaked internal team information to a YouTuber (and they exist for out company!), then I would be in deep doodoo.

Honestly it might not come out for years, if ever, hopefully.

Sure. That isn't what happened, however.

What actually happened is that someone's boss said in an interview that if someone who leaked confidential company documents to disastrous effect on the company were to come see him directly, he'd pursue a course of action that doesn't end in their immediate termination, which is...what would normally happen. Like without any room for doubt.

These are two very different things.

He's literally offering an olive branch to someone or a group of someones that he doesn't want to have to fire, but who he absolutely would normally have to fire. He probably had to convince his Rawson and/or Williams to even allow it.
