I see a trending reply to this thread that advises immediately turning to deceit and sabotage, should one ever be so challenged.

That might make sense for some. I know the manual they're quoting, intended for people laboring under wartime enemy occupation. If you see your employer as your enemy, go nuts!

For me, it would be trading one compromise of my personal virtue for another. The full thread by @futurebird has more generally applicable advice and I recommend it.

To be crystal clear, I do not plan on compromising my principles for anyone.

For me, right action would look more like saying "No, I won't do that, and here's why” than thinking “At last!" and eagerly busting out the WWII field-sabotage manuals.

I'm not ready to abandon my ideals of being an honest, dependable, and transparent person just because the world has gotten meaner. No, it's important to me to meet it by climbing a step higher, actually.

Maybe it's not for everyone! But it's for me.
