Thanks, this also made me pause. I can imagine some occasions where you might encourage employees to break the law (although this still seems super ethically fraught) - for example, some direct action in e.g. animal welfare. However, the examples here are ‘to gain recreational and productivity drugs’ and to drive around doing menial tasks’.
So if you’re saying “it isn’t always unambiguously ethically wrong to encourage employees to commit crimes” then I guess yes, in some very limited cases I can see that.
But if you’re saying “in these instances it was honest, honourable and conscientious to encourage employees to break the law” then I very strongly disagree.
