What happens when we solve a ethical fading problem with a finite mindset?
Ethical fading happens in workplaces led by an finite mindset where people are pitted against each other.When profits are put before people , people resort to unethical means to strive in such environments.
The irony is that in such workplaces plagued by ethical fading , adopting a finite mindset to solve the problem has a cascading effect and multiplies the disease even more resulting in an epidemic.
Thus in workplaces plagued by this problem , the last resort is an infinite mindset.
