    Problems can be ongoing or increase in severity. Just because it’s been an issue for a while doesn’t mean it’s too late for change.

    Also, some people don’t have the luxury to choose an ethical employer (if they even exist).

          Do you think a non-executive hire has that ability? That’s a stretch IMO
