Sometimes one’s codes of ethics and values may not align with their organization

Sometimes one’s codes of ethics and values may not align with their organization. This can leave some with a difficult decision. If I ever found myself working within an organization where my own values were different than my organization’s values, I would have to weigh my options and think very carefully about how I should proceed. In the end, I would be left with four decisions. One of those decisions would be to do nothing, meaning I would stay exactly where I am and keep my mouth shut. Another would be to leave quietly, never spilling any information to anyone about the occurrences within the organization. I could also leave and be what is called a whistleblower. Lastly, I could become a guerrilla.
Someone who becomes a guerrilla does not always choose to be a whistleblower. They can choose to simply work behind the scenes to create chaos within an organization. In most instances, this chaos would be in the form of disruptions that stunt the progress of the organization. Dealing with these guerrillas is not always an easy task, however there are methods that can be used to suppress the damage that can be caused by guerrillas. The obligation that I feel is most important for dealing with these guerrillas is the obligation that public servants have to the law. The law is something that any public servant should abide by for the sake of the protection of everyone else within the organization. Laws are made for a reason, and that is to keep people from overstepping the boundaries of grey area into what is just morally wrong.
I do not think that all guerrillas are unethical, however. Some guerrillas’ actions can be justified due to the organization’s poor practices. Some may not believe this, but there are a handful of organizations that follow very shady practices, and the network of individuals they keep close is so strong that not even a whistleblower could bring light to their dealings. In cases like these, in can be necessary to become a guerrilla, in order to accomplish the goal of exposing these underhanded dealings. In most cases whistleblowing is perfectly adequate, as the majority of organizations in this nation do not have that sort of power at their disposal. As for dealing with guerrillas, I believe that it is important to take their concerns into consideration, and if what they are asking is ridiculous, then they must be either fired or demoted assuming the organization is within its rights to do so.
