This is pretty much exactly how I ended up thinking after almost a decade in industry. Anyone who thinks that social missions can be worked on inside a for-profit corporation is incredibly naïve. It is a difficult task even in non-profits, government institutions and politics; in essence, the systems are there for the systems' sake. The people within the system each have different motivations and reasons for being there. Even before joining a company, expectations of pushback should be the first thing on your mind if you are working in a potential social minefield like ethics governance. Corporations exist to make money, period. Never expect social contributions to progress, worthwhile and long-term employment and a guaranteed paycheck or pension. Fighting for a worthwhile cause is always good, but if you're doing it on company time, expect that there's a good chance that you won't be at the company for long.
