Ethics over success (micro blog)

There have been several instances of companies giving ethics a backseat for profit maximization.

… When General Motors Co. kept building cars with an ignition switch that shut down the car, causing it to suddenly stop and the airbags to fail?

… When Wells Fargo & Co. created checking, savings, and credit card accounts that customers never authorized?

.. I can go on and on quoting instances of companies not giving a shit for ethics.

But is this all justified? Is this all required to get success?

No, not.at.all. All of the above malpractices could be avoided. The maximum that it would have caused is failure.

But isn’t failure is a part of success?

If that is so, then the maximum it would have caused is a delay in success.

In my view success delayed is much better than success faked by using ill-practices.
