Professor was acting unethically.
He claimed there would be no judgement, and then didn't follow through on that condition.
He also instructed the student to lie in the future.

Sounds like business ethics to me.
Ah yes. "Ethics."
And the student himself acting ethically despite thinking they're only 36/100
The teacher sold it to a different student who kissed his ass harder.

Business ethics is the opposite of ethics.
my business ethics professor was fired for sexually assaulting a student

Probably what businesses really want is unethical people who are competent at lying about it, and the professor was giving anon practical career advice if not actually ethical advice.
They want those people as CEO's, not as workers.
They still want workers who are willing to lie to protect the company. There's a reason why whistleblowers tend to be blackballed from their industries.
They still don't want an honest 95%+ ethical person in any role because it might conflict with the corporation's desire to have workers rationalize that the needs of the corporation are more important than ethics, ie not wanting to hire potential whistleblowers.
They want ethical but only to the point that they're willing to be unethical for the corporation, but not to the point that they'd ever be unethical towards the corporation. Basically sketchy 'ride or die' logic

What businesses want are unethical people, but only towards everyone else. To them you must always be the pretty prim diamond unicorn princess who shit's rainbows and profit.
36 seems like an accurate score for someone going to Business School.
For the most ethical of people going to business school. Everyone else lied.
Business school seems to be the exact polar opposite of therapy
American Psycho was a documentary.
Anon had a massive dunk on his professor lined up.
"You said there would be no judgement and said that people should lie rather than put an accurate score on an ethics survey. Wouldn't that make your score lower than 36 then?"
The professor probably would have responded that his response was another part of the lesson: don't trust those above you in a business setting.
I guess the answer would be "but I have a job already"...
"Yeah, and judging by how you immediately put down one of your students I suspect you lied to get it."
"Now you're getting it kid."
"ha ha no judgement (:" proceeds to judge
methinks professor is not very ethical
Yeah, he said to lie
Goes to business school, shock that the people are twats. Yeah, they are going to school to learn how to be the owner class, what you expect, empathy?
Counter with, "this isn't a job interview" or "I'm vying for a job in the oil and gas industry".

In business school
I think I found your problem.
I accidentally ended up at a religious university for medical school and you better believe I've gotten in numerous fights with the law and ethics professor (who, to be fair, is actually a MD/JD) regarding the prescribed conservative religious approach to the ethics discussions. I absolutely did not change his mind, but I did get a bunch of my classmates to start asking questions by putting myself out there and challenging the professor on their BS.
Edit: I should clarify that these fights were on mic in the recorded lectures, so there's a hard record of my arguing with him.

"And I wouldn't want to work for a liar" is the obvious comeback to this.
I'd say that this is one of the few exceptions to the "those who can't do teach" stereotype being bullshit but clearly he sucks at teaching others ethics as much as he sucks at being ethical in his own behavior 🤷

Nah, he wants to see if anon can be shamed about his lack of ethics.
If he is shameless, CEO behavior.
If he is ashamed, McDonald's behavior.
If you lie about it, then just par for the course and you can be a broker anywhere. Gotta feed out the line to find the narcissistic socios and not the stealthy ones.

why are ethics and sustainability in the same class? They are 2 different fields. It'd be like lumping a sociology and math class together.
Buddy, do I have news for you.
In a business school they're the same thing: stuff we have to put on the syllabus so it looks like we care about them.
It's not like they actually teach those subjects, they just need to appear on the timetable. So putting them together works fine.

It wasn't a test about how ethical you are, but how moral you are
I'm not actually sure what the point of this greentext is supposed to be.
It's very clearly not a true story. Not particularly funny. Is this just a circle jerk for insulting people who wear a suit and tie to work?
