What is your moral compass? And how do you deal with people who seem to have very little moral concerns?

I keep to my morals and stand my ground BUT I don’t preach to others with different morals. If someone wants me to do something I’m not comfortable with, I simply say as much in a non confrontational way. (If the whole workplace was toxic, I’d look for another job and document these interactions.)

I’m no philosopher or theologian so I don’t pretend my morals are any better than anyone else’s. However, it’s important to me that I sleep at night 😂.

My post was rather meant to be on a private matter. Luckily, I have never faced a dramatic moral conflict at any employer I have had so far. But I am sure that can happen as well.

I think our morals can change over time with our beliefs. Morals are just what we see as right or wrong. Sometimes, things are grey rather than black and white. Having a clear conscience is the goal though

Maintaining high morals and standards for yourself and those around you is a virtue that many in the western world have abandoned and forgotten. In my own life I see nothing wrong with telling people my exact thoughts on what is right or wrong with what they are doing, and why I will or will not join in.

My most recent example is when I was training for my current job and I was told to lie to customers on the phone to sell. I said no and ever since then I have been poked fun at for not wanting to lie. Even so far as being told by a director that if “you’re uncomfortable with the moral gray area of sales then it’s not for you”.
