It's not about a moral compass, it's about the "market of deviance" (I don't know how to eloquently put the point I am making, maybe there's a better term). If let's say, you are an employee of a company in a not-so-ethical market, and everybody around you acts unethically, then you have no way of playing against the market: you will either be fired for not doing your job, or you could call everyone on it, but no one will help you. There's the other point to be made: if everyone around you acts unethically, then maybe it's your standards that are too high? Or maybe you are just delusional in your thinking about what "ethical" actually means.
