It's not that I want them to get fired, I'm just aware that the whole point of an in-house ethics committee is to excuse the objectionable stuff, not to publicly criticize it. Sort of like when people complain that HR wasn't on their side, but actually just ratted them out to management. Yeah that sucks, but that's their role. Be smart about how you dissent. Be anonymous and leak stuff. You'll still get to keep on cashing that paycheck and probably have a more meaningful impact on the broader world compared to some de-fanged "ethics" committee press releases.
