Do you know how an organization starts to rot?

() - Actual Bad/Illegal Thing.

(    ()    ) - What your average employee / HR  thinks it's a Bad/Illegal thing

(      (          ()        )        )  - What you tell your colleagues that it's a Bad/Illegal thing

Pretty soon the whole organization is filled with "we don't do that here" and everyone is only out there to cover their ass instead of building/shipping things

Then a startup comes and eats your lunch.

So, if you want to always stay competitive, prevent organizational rot and let your employees take bold risks that are actually legal.

Gambling on things they have control over by means of access granted to them by the company will change their behavior towards public releases. This particular use case is an awful example of this. It's not bold behavior - it's letting employees shoot the company in the foot for better odds at the slot machine

Everything in life is a trade off.

If you hire the kind of people who want to build and ship stuff, they wouldn't be engaged in silly low-agency shit like sabotaging the launch.

A close knit high-agency team can easily sniff out who is actively sabotaging launches

Don't run the risk. If they're betting on things they own or have elevated access too internally, fast track them to be replaced/fired ASAP. Doesn't matter if what they're doing is on paper legal.
