A 1000 votes seems much to low. A catchy slogan on reddit or whatever can easily get 1000 to back your idea even if it is silly. Seems like a low number like that would allow huge amounts of corruption. IE Apple uses it's money to buy votes to exile its competitors entire engineering dept and boards.

@Paparazzi I have no idea. But in Arizona you can get 25 years for cutting down a cactus so it would not surprise me. There are some crazy laws. Personally I hope that there are serious penalties for any company making breaking the law a policy regardless of what law it is.

I have no idea if makeing a fake rebate is a criminal act. That too likely varies state to state (don't hold me to that). But the act of knowingly falsifying a document, rebate or otherwise is fraud (legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/fraud this certainly meets the first 4 elements) . What type of fraud and what level of wrongdoing it is is beyond my legal research skills while on a short break at work. Also, as for the ohio thing, the laws were never intended to be fair to people who don't educate themselves on the laws they are governed by. Ignorance sadly, is not a defense.

You can be charged for not reporting a crime you witnessed, but it does depend on where you are. For example, in Texas you can be charged with a Class A misdemeanor for failing to report an offense that resulted in serious bodily injury or death. In Ohio it more general and is illegal to knowingly fail to report a felony. I have no idea if what category altering rebates is since it clearly wont lead to bodily harm so you are safe in Texas but differs state to state.

@Kilisi I am with you on being against employees staring at cat videos for multiple hours a day regardless of their position. I am for take small breaks to refresh your brain throughout the day though. From your post just above mine it sounded like you were against breaks in general and I did not see your clarification in your response to Richard until after hitting post.

@Kilisi You would likely find yourself firing most of your staff then. Multiple hours in a row might be a be much if there is a clear pattern of avoiding work or failing to meet deadlines, if they meet deadlines and get work done though you should have no reason to complain. Forcing a coder to stare at code for 8hours without breaks would likely lead to them producing low quality work.
