Would you take a three figure salary to work at a corporation widely regarded as horrendously unethical? |

Three figures? For a salary? Piss off son. Add another 2 to 3 figures then we might be able to have a sensible conversation. |

Obviously the ethical and sensible thing to do is to work there for as long as possible whilst undermining their business from within. You may not be able to turn it into an ethical business but you can certainly do damage. I'd argue that even if you could make it ethical, that would continue to benefit the people who made it unethical in the first place, so the most ethical thing would be to take that away from them by ruining it. |

Unless you're high enough in the company (or a big shareholder), it's safe to say you're not part of the group responsible for the unethical behaviour. You could consider it collective responsibility, but that ignores the fact that corporations are essentially structured as dictatorships. It is my belief that "just following orders" is a reasonably legitimate personal ethical defence, unless you're the bloke pulling the gas lever in Auschwitz, or something equally direct and involved. |

I could only do it if I were working it into a greater plan. Right now I'm working for an industry that's a grey area, ethically, but I'm saving up specifically to take another related qualification and move into a better field. |

There's things you could do to mitigate your ethical concerns. |
