eg the Wells Fargo employees should be judged less harshly.
I go back and forth on this, and I think the answer might depend on exactly what question you’re asking. If what you want to know is “how do we get Wells Fargo to stop defrauding customers?”, the answer is obviously to focus on executives, not entry level employees. But if the question is “Do I want to go into business with Dave, who defrauded customers as part of his role as a teller at Wells Fargo? Or Jill, who sliced and diced her data to get her paper count up”? That answer is going to depend a lot on particulars and context.
