This is exactly why I'm having a hard time mustering sympathy for the layoffs. If anything, they will use this as a stepping stone to a more ethical career choice. I do still feel for them on a human level though.

Ethics is a luxury. In a bad economy, people are probably more ready to take on less ethical jobs.
