there is no need to believe that organisations
as such
have a
'moral character'.
First, I don't think you mean
'organizations.' I think
you
mean 'companies.' Or would you equate the moral
character
of, for
example, Habitat for Humanity with that of
Microsoft?
But beyond that, you ignore the fact that some companies
take
steps to establish a code of conduct and ensure that
employees
follow
it.
When I worked for one such organization, I was given
annually a
copy of the code of conduct along with a form to sign. By
signing the form I
acknowledged
that I read the code, understood it and also understood
that
violations could result in termination. Signing the
form was a condition of
employment.
I never witnessed nor heard of a violation of that code.
I was
reminded, though, of what I could and could not say to
customers;
and not
just by managers, but by my peers within the
company.
So I claim this as
evidence of a 'moral character'
within that company, at least at that time, and
that it was
superior to companies
where the motto is 'win at any cost.' [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
