Well, among other things it can mean you end up in a situation that more closely aligns with your morals.

This has a number of predictable benefits.

...by force. Although I’m sure Edward Snowden feels good ethically, I’m also sure he has material issues that make him regret (that’s the goal of his ennemies, after all).

Similarly, a middle manager who has to downsize houses because he stopped working on weapons for example, it could be even harder for him because he won’t even get famous for it.

I should know, I’ve made one of those choices in another area.

That's assuming that your input affects the current situation.

Sure, if you leave the company and go somewhere else, then you're potentially going to find your moral environment. But, there are better ways to find these environments, versus job hopping.

Without leaving, how often will your conflicts affect your situation?

Would like to hear more about the predicted benefits.
