An organization of “ands” is an organization that requires its employees to make the numbers and to do it safely and to do it ethically. It’s not one or the other.
Contrary to popular belief, working in an organization of “ands” is not more difficult. It’s actually way easier. We don’t have to struggle with compromises. We either do it the right way or we don’t. We never have to figure out how to lie, steal, or cheat without getting caught. If something cannot be done ethically, we move on to the next opportunity.
If you think integrity is hard, try dishonesty for a few years and let’s reconvene then. One of us is going to be in a much easier spot.
