Interesting question and one that I’ve thought about.

Have you ever encountered any practices at work that have challenged your moral values? How did you handle the situation?

I’ve not had a lot of conflicts between my values and work expectations, the only example that comes to mind is not applying for the on-site daycare job at a racetrack. I’d like to think that I could/would walk away from a job/organization that compromised my beliefs, but I can’t be sure.

.

Sehrysh has put it very nicely actually.

I have had an experience whilst working at an international firm where I had to recruit executive level staff at Europe wide Betting business. Being in a blue chip environment, it can become extremely hard to say no, it can backfire big time, but for me , Alhumdulillah after a bit of an issue they did manage to understand what the stance was and they then retreated me from that client and shifted me to another.

If I had been employed at a smaller business , I wouldnt have been able to get it my way.

Having said this , I have personally refused an offer of work at a local Tobacco company but I had to compromise on my values years ago when I was forced to recruit for them at a smaller level At that time, I was at the starting point of my career and didnt have the choice to pick and choose but I regret that loads.
