The Ethics of Corporate Lying

Well, I do believe that it the norm for many power hungry people. A code of ethics is only as good as the enforcement of them. Our company has a mandatory on line ethics class we have to take ever year. HR preaches ethics every month.....but I see it everyday that it don't mean much if you are bringing in the money or have the power. Funny our ethics and morality revolves around the dollar.

Some of my superiors lie to me, but most in education are fairly honest.

I may be naive, but I can't go through life telling lie after lie to get myself further along financially.

Look at Trump. Look at your elected officials. Look at the corruption in Mississippi and beyond. It's all driven by corporate greed and it's not getting any better.

Big time college sports are no different.

You should spend your career working in government if you want to see some incredible lack of ethics. I have been lucky and worked for cities and state agencies with high ethical standards for staff. As bad as a rap as we get, 95% of the government employees I have encountered at all levels (local, State, Fed) are honest hard working people. The elected or appointed officials (agency heads or agency board members) - mostly out of the corporate world - are absolutely horrid. They have no concept of ethics, no understanding of conflict of interest, and constantly pressure you to do things like bid rig, issue no-bid contracts, skirt laws governing gratuities, and are always looking to use their influence to get their way for some buddy while preaching "we need to do things the right way." Meanwhile, I can be fired for having lunch with a contractor if the bill is more than $20.

Oh, I believe it. All this sexual misconduct going on and I could be fired for looking at one of my students wrong, let alone make any type of inappropriate comment.
