Perspective at Work and Ethics

[fairyfarmgirl]

Ooh, I just learned something new about myself.

Well, at work, we take annual training on ethics and code of conduct stuff. It's quite interesting actually being an experience in life.

They set up scenarios of some employees doing such and such, and someone if they followed suit may or may not lose their job and status and bonus and such.

I was like "omg, such trivial stuff" I'm thinking of the Logos and the galaxy and multi-dimensional realities. What to the company appears to be a big thing is so minisculely trivial in the grand scheme.

Anyone else get this feeling?

Or am I somehow wrong in that focusing on "being ethical" is of utmost importance? I would think as an employee, it is almost automatic anyway. So I know which answers to choose in our little quizzes here at work, but it's all so unimportant to me for some reason.

On a larger perspective note- I would say just enjoy while it lasts. There are only few more years of this wonderful limiting experience left on planet earth. As strange as it may sound like- this is what we came here to do, experience BS. That can be a wonderful experience if you have never had the opportunity to do so in the heavens It is like a long movie you came to watch and forgot that it is a sad and/ or scary movie (that you bought the golden ticket to watch)...

On a practical note- 'ethics' is cultural as well and different people coming from different backgrounds and upbringing may not view the situation the same way. The 'ethics training' is a way for the corporations to homogenize and automate the response to a situation in a way to promote their stated objectives.

On a personal note- I agree that it feels trivial and feels like another STS attempt to control all aspects of an employee. While the top of the hierarchy behaves like they are above the law...

Agreed!
