Having people with integrity quit is a secondary goal. And with the compliant people remaining, they can do a slippery slope, with the people thinking "Well I've already done X, X+1 isn't that much worse". Slash they'll absorb the Nazi propaganda as "acceptable".

Gas chambers when?

If the people with integrity quit, they have less overall capacity. An alternative is to get your union to be political and strike over this shit. If you don't resist in some capacity, you are just helping them.
