If so, doesn't it breed unprofessionalism, and moreover, the next generation of bad employers?
Business is now all about making as much money as possible for yourself and fck everyone else (has this allways been the case - you could argue yes).
So in essence we need to see ourseleves as businesses and take everyone for what we can get and fck everyone elseComment

It seems people on here are hyper-cynical for the sake of it.Comment

I teach ethics to bankers
It's part of a course I do occasional lectures on.
I use piss like this as a worked example:
You meet a girl in a pub.
She says "you're better looking than my boyfriend, I'll chuck him, he's tulip in bed anyway". She phones him, tells some lies about going out late with some female friends and then puts her arm around you.
Many of us would then quite happily then spend the evening back at our place discussing feminist poetry.
Few of us would see this as a prospect for a long term relationship, there may be some trust issues, even if we are better looking and wonderful in bed.
Same with a recruiter or anyone else you do business with.
If the transaction is finite and you don't need to trust them much,then their ethics don't have to be your problem.
But although a contract recruiter is unlikely to be your best man when you marry the girl you met in the bar, you are trusting him with non-trivial amounts of money.
As a pimp, I'm not going to try and claim some moral superiority that dictates you should not shaft your current client, I'm asking if you trust this creature with two months pay ?My 12 year old is walking 26 miles for Cardiac Risk in the Young, you can sponsor him hereComment
