Be real.. if you had a 6 figure salary working for Nike when it went through it's whole ordeal about not properly paying workers overseas would you have walked away? yeah i thought so. when your personal morals and ethics meet your salary at a cross roads it can be one of the hardest decisions of your life.. we do what we can in life to make sure that we don't get too much red paint on our hands as individuals. by 'red paint' i'm talking about negative acts. anything that could be looked at as deliberately committing sins.. Now not knowing is a completely different story. but knowing and turning the other cheek is what we're discussing.. i always wondered why jobs ask you questions
at interviews such as, 'if you saw a co-worker doing something against company policy would you report them to management?' why does that fucking matter? they ask you that to test see if you have integrity. but one huge thought comes into my head. and that's the fact that senior management are the biggest crooks in companies, not everyday employees.. are you really expecting a mother with 2 kids to risk her job and well being over tattling on a co-worker. yeah right. and that doesn't mean that she doesn't have integrity. it means that she has higher priorities such as feeding a family. and you can never knock on someone for doing just that.. but on the flip side of that comment you can't be the type of person that only cries foul when it's happening to you.. when the unethical acts are happening if you closed your mouth for one act, shouldn't you keep your mouth closed for the rest? a famous quote says ' an injustice somewhere is an injustice everywhere'.. so if you believe in that quote then live accordingly. and if not. then live with the cycle because it will eventually come back around... what do you think?
