RBF Definitions
The word is immoral rather than sinning. A man works hard and gets promoted and suddenly he finds that his new job carries with it the need to really compromise and let something go by. He’s turning out goods that will work for a month. It’s quite long before he discovers that somebody has already arranged to make more profit by cutting down the quality. And he’s just an executive; and it’s months before he discovers all these production tricks. So the immorality part is the compromise, and not resigning or making a fuss. It’s getting caught in the circle. It’s an elusive kind of thing: that built-in immorality of the corporation."
