You know how when school budgets are cut, underpaid teachers spend money out of their own pockets to ensure students get what is needed? Or nurses stay far past their shifts to ensure critical patients get the care they need?
Unethical people don't realize that there are countless ethical people who make the right choices every day.
The answer to your questions, is yes to all of them.
- sangnoir 4y agoThat's not exactly apples to apples, but you got me thinking about the leaders that cut school budgets and under-staff hospitals (while getting bonuses, no doubt). When it comes to ethics, it appears most organizations are bottom-heavy. Isn't it weird how budget cuts and under-staffing[1] have nebulous attribution, or are seen as an unstoppable force of nature in whose face the embattled, heroic, under-resourced teachers and nurses must make their stand 1. Read 'profit-taking'
- dadoomer 4y agoI agree with the spirit of this take. Of course they should have. We should structure society so that the average person has agency at the workplace, and not just blindly abides by the decisions and orders of the board of directors. If democracy were to expand to the workplace, perhaps we would be in a better position to avoid the situations that lead to the situation described by the OP.
