Analyze the statement

Using the Ethical Dilemmas and Moral Courage knowledge points

The statement asserts: "A consequence of acting ethically and/or legally is loss of job and career."

In business ethics, individuals who choose to act ethically or legally (such as whistleblowers exposing corporate fraud or employees refusing to participate in illegal activities) frequently face severe retaliation. This retaliation can include termination, blacklisting, and the effective end of their careers in that industry. Therefore, loss of job and career is indeed a documented, real-world consequence that ethical actors sometimes face.
