I should have been more clear, but I think people here are reading too much from I said. It's useless to try to repair it, but I just want to explain what I intended to say.
First, I wasn't implying investors are bad people. In fact, I tried to imply the opposite.
What I meant was that a lot of people (at least people I know) blame companies for making decisions that cut jobs, and investors for pushing in these directions.
But at the same time, nobody is so selfless in their own life decisions in order to sacrifice their careers for someone they don't know. In fact, most people will consciously decide to earn more and make their lives better even if that means other people will lose their jobs. For example, I doubt any software developer will ever change careers just because the software he works on will cause half of the sales team to be fired. That's what I mean by people not being so selfless in their own life decisions.
But when it comes to losing their own jobs, it's common to hear people say that companies or investors could decide take the loss, earn less and keep these jobs, like the decision was a choice between saving lives or killing puppies for 10 cents more, and someone is just too greedy.
So, by "expecting investors to grow this moral guideline", I didn't mean they don't have a moral guideline. I meant people expect a much higher moral guideline that would make them sacrifice themselves in favor of the greater good, while other people don't actually do it themselves.
