Ethics for Corporations and Bureaucracies – Ethics for Everyone Else


A few years ago there were books on corporate ethics. I wondered why people thought corporate ethics needed to be separate from ethics or morality.
I believe this except from a New York Times post explains why the Coatesville Area School District is apparently attacking the whistleblowers:
 ..."an accountant was dismissed because he insisted on reporting “irregular payments, doctored invoices, and shuffling numbers.” The complaint against the accountant by the other managers of his company was that “by insisting on his own moral purity … he eroded the fundamental trust and understanding that makes cooperative managerial work possible.”
