This is interesting, because it tells me that no matter how crooked the business sector, there is some company so awful that that puts all the others to shame. And there is another out at the other end that has good people trying to do good things.
If you're looking for a job, you can only work for one company, so that provides some hope: You just need to find that positive outlier. And if they are also successful and not crippled by attempts to stay sane in an insane world, you'll be fine.
It's much the same as with startups. Lots are absolute nonsense, conceived with the purpose of extracting money from a gullible market for investments in hot technology.
But you don't have to work for or with any of them, you just have to find the people who are genuinely trying to make the world a better place in a way that fits with what you have to offer.
It's not definite from your phrasing, but based on the parallel to sports I'm assuming you view this attitude negatively. Have you managed to find a business niche that isn't prey to this? Have you found a way to make peace with this without feeling that you've given up your sense of morality? This is something I struggle with.
