their only ethicist left? gasp!

now they are exactly like every other company that has zero ethicists on staff and expect the employees to weigh the ethical ramifications of their work.

What companies do you think expect their employees to weigh the ethical ramifications of their work?

I’d argue a lot of them expect the opposite. To suppress the ethical concerns.

Even in recent memories you had Mark Zuckerberg telling his employees to use pirated sources. And executives at fossil fuel companies have to act unethically.

I think we can look upon the collective works of the corporations of the world and agree that the employees do not do that, nor are they expected to.
