> it is is so happy to compromise those values. I'm reminded of the "values of the carphone warehouse [of which there are none]" bit. Employees have values. Companies have employees and assets. They are a moral compromise by their very nature. Big (public) companies especially, have little interest in being "ethical", as by their sheer size, their economical duties are enormous. I do believe this would dwarf any concerns short of... Well, what issue can you have that's big enough to risk the livelihoods of thousands or millions? I can think of none. (I'm trying to describe things as they are, not as I would like them. The lesson is that to change the way companies behave you have to change all of society. In my humble opinion, "values" are the result required for homeostatis, and almost never the motivators.)
