Professor was acting unethically.

He claimed there would be no judgement, and then didn’t follow through on that condition.

He also instructed the student to lie in the future.

Where is my A+?

The teacher sold it to a different student who kissed his ass harder.

Hypothetically, if you kidnapped the prof, tied him up and gagged him until he gave you an A, wouldn’t you have earned it? Based on his example, and the voices in my head.

So are most, it’s either rape or embezzlement. Most don’t have access to funds to embezzle so rape is more common

Probably what businesses really want is unethical people who are competent at lying about it, and the professor was giving anon practical career advice if not actually ethical advice.

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

What businesses want are unethical people, but only towards everyone else. To them you must always be the pretty prim diamond unicorn princess who shit’s rainbows and profit.
