Moral courage against corporate pressure is rare and its bearers get weeded out.

Evidence

In our study of moral disengagement in the corporate world (White et al., 2009), we recorded instances in which individuals adhered to their moral convictions under strong pressure to violate them. Instances of this kind of moral courage were disappointingly rare. Such employees probably get weeded out or seek employment elsewhere. However, occasionally individuals expressed reservations or concerns about the manipulation of research or the adverse effects of a product or production process, concerns unlikely to serve the financial or strategic interests of their employer. — Albert Bandura, Moral Disengagement, 1687
