>Actual professionals, [that is, doctors, lawyers, accountants, engineers (real ones, not the phony software kind)] have obligations to their professional standards and ethics that supersede obligations to their employer. That's incredibly naive world view. Doctors are constantly letting themselves be bribed by pharma companies (let alone "ethics" that allow them committing things like Tuskegee experiment, forced sterilizations or stuff like [0]) and lawyers are regarded as biggest liars for a reason (and not only defence or civil law lawyers, we keep constantly hearing about prosecutorial misconduct). And it's not like they get shunned by their peers when caught usually they get only slap on the wrist, they don't even have to turn in their license or get disbarred.
