Those are nice. Thanks for sharing that!

I have never seen anything remotely close to that in a place of corporate employment ever. I have been doing this in the corporate world since 2006, but if you count my time as a security analyst in the military than I could push that date back to 2001.

The military does force feed you (memorization verbatim) ethical standards, though, at a huge contrast to the loosey goosey corporate world:

* https://www.army.mil/values/



Those are not ethical standards or concepts. "Loyalty" and "duty" don't help evaluating if an action is good.


The values are vague intentionally so that they can be broadly applied. They are not a code of ethics but a guiding set of virtues.

The NCO Creed, however, absolutely is a code of ethics.


I had a similar shock, after 10 years as an analyst in the Marine Corps. It's a strange country we live in.
