when your job depends on following orders it can be very hard to put ethics ahead of personal interests.

To be more specific . . .

when keeping your job depends on following orders it can be very hard to put ethics ahead of personal interests a paycheck.

The top/first comment in this thread is a perfect example of this. A person who has no fear of being able to obtain the next paycheck never has doubts about standing up when it's called for.

I can only hope to be in that position some day.

This is one of the reasons I aspire to some semblance of financial independence.

I save and invest some of my income, often more than half. It may one day give me even more security to maintain an even higher standard of integrity.
