This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

They want those people as CEO's, not as workers.

They still want workers who are willing to lie to protect the company. There's a reason why whistleblowers tend to be blackballed from their industries.

They still don't want an honest 95%+ ethical person in any role because it might conflict with the corporation's desire to have workers rationalize that the needs of the corporation are more important than ethics, ie not wanting to hire potential whistleblowers.

They want ethical but only to the point that they're willing to be unethical for the corporation, but not to the point that they'd ever be unethical towards the corporation. Basically sketchy 'ride or die' logic

They want them even more as middle managers.

The CEO's goal is to be able to say "we had the best intentions, I have no idea how it went so badly", and that requires a bunch of layers of middlemen who are willing to do anything to meet targets
