Ethical Question

I love it when i stir people up asking questions. Neither of you seemed to have read my disclaimer. I consider it my job to ask the question no one else asks, otherwise I would not be a good teacher. Standing accepted propositions on their heads unearths unexamined assumptions and leads to better critical thinking.

Your disclaimer was irrelevant, because whether or not you would do it has nothing to do with the validity of your propsition. I was merely responding to your question, which was tainted with ethical relativism.

I'll just say that the expectation of ethical behavior without checks and balances is delusional and naive. We are taught very early that there is no humanity to corporate ethics ...hence they can expect none in return.

So ...preach all the platitudes that you want. The expectation carries no weight in the real world ....unless you get caught ..THEN there are plenty of the champions of the ethics to taunt you and tar and feather you.

I cite:
Enron
World-Comm
S&L crisis
Watergate
Iran-Contra
etc
etc
etc

All of our most accomplished, educated, and socialized.

What lessons have we learned from them??

That you're cattle and sheep to be harvested. Plain and simple.

The company I work for is unethical and amoral, therefore that's what they should expect from me in return.

Now that is sad.

Why is it that so many(including here) have no problem with being spied on( or at least their fellow citizens), but get all bent when company or government "secrets" threaten to be exposed?
I thought "if you haven't got anything to hide, why worry?"

Well, you may just be their type of scum. You never know.

Time to shut this thread down when it degenerates to name calling.
