When your workplace doesnt match your ethical outlook the problem of moral injury?

Imagine you're playing with your favorite toys, but someone else is using them in a way that doesn’t feel fair to you, that’s like having a workplace that doesn’t match your ethical outlook.

At school, you have rules about sharing and being kind. But if your teacher lets everyone take all the snacks without asking, it might feel unfair to you. That's similar to when your workplace has moral problems, like people doing things that don’t match how you think things should be done.

Think of ethics as a way of sharing cookies fairly. If someone takes all the big cookies and leaves the small ones for others, even though they promised to share, it feels wrong. That's what happens when your ethical outlook, how you believe people should act, doesn’t match what actually happens at work.

It can feel like you're in a game where the rules are changed without telling you, and that makes it harder to enjoy playing, or working!
