Dunno where you've worked but people who are disruptive to team functioning can (and should!) be terminated. Nobody should have to put up with a hostile work environment.

Lots of people have jobs where they should be disruptive to other teams. Financial audits are disruptive to accounting. Legal can disrupt just about any team. HR can disrupt hiring decisions. Security disrupts my desire to move fast and break things.

That does not create a hostile work environment. It's healthy and normal. I would expect an ethicist to fall under a similar category.

Surely all of those exist on a spectrum from healthy to hostile. I've been in infosec for 25 years and see it regularly.
