I have 50% empathy for these people and 50% of me feels like shouting, "gfy you earned this by not walking away from this a-hole". Easier said than done though when it's not your career on the line, etc.
Imagine the Secret Service guys. I realize it's their job to possibly one day take one for the team, but if one of them gets Covid from the POTUS and goes through health complications up to actually death?
If you are a single mom or dad working 2 low wage jobs to make ends meet, I am more than sympathetic if you keep working somewhere despite some ethical concerns. The choice between feeding your family today or being ethical by walking away from a questionable job is a really easy choice to make.
But for highly educated people, who have skills, experience, education and training that is sought after by open minded and ethical employers all over the place, like physicians and Secret Service agents would be, not so much sympathy.
I left a job (and clued the employer in on some of the reasons why) and moved 3 states away to find a similar one because I grew tired of ethical concerns over how my former employer sometimes conducted business, both internally and externally. And it was one that is a huge player in the game I am in and could theoretically blackball me from a lot of similar jobs if the powers that be so chose. I could make that choice and did. Having discovered the grass is never really greener and Wisconsin sucks notwithstanding, I consider myself fortunate to have at least some ability to make choices like that.
