What options or alternatives did you suggest to marketing so they could accomplish their goal?


None? I have no clues what marketings goal are and frankly I don't care. If they want to insert some junk.js into their web page they need at least to ensure it is legal.


If you work at the same company on the same product don’t you both have the same end goal?


Not really, no. There are 500 people in marketing organization and I doubt there are less than 20 conflicting end goals within that organization. Unless you're going all fluffy and talk about company goal as said by the owners.

Either way, if their process of reaching their end goal included steps which legal dismissed then they needed to go back to the drawing board and figure out a new strategy, right? It would be strange for me who doesn't work in their profession come and tell them how to solve their issues.

You're not telling them, you're helping them.

I guess I can't get past the idea of telling someone I work with that their solution won't work and then being like, "sorry you're on your own".

Although I'm sure you don't care, the disdain you show for marketing wouldn't make me super excited to work with you.
