    I’m assuming they both work at same “evil” company.

    The guilt would depend on the crime.

    Did the roof collapse despite numerous warnings from the maintenance staff about structural issues? If the worker failed to report outside the company, yes there is some fault on them for inaction.

    If the company ordered some cyrpto mining baked into their software, then the developer who accepted the task and implemented it would share guilt.

      Yes

      Let’s say there is no issue regarding maintenance, everything is safe, the building technician is only “guilty” of helping an “evil” company run.

      If the company ordered some cyrpto mining baked into their software, then the developer who accepted the task and implemented it would share guilt.

      So it’s more about directly working on something bad?
      I guess that means people working directly on the chain of personal data exploitation at the tech giants are more guilty.
