>Simply I mean the best way to support a wrongfully ousted ethicist would be to leave yourself

What are you basing this on? I can think of at least one example where this pressure actually worked (caused google management to reverse course). ICE contracts, I think?

Your strategy would seem to be more in Google management's favor - clearing out all the people who might kick up a fuss when they try to engage in unethical behavior.

A typical recruiting fee is 30 percent of an employees annual salary.

A typical onboarding process takes weeks or months of paid employee time.

Employees value to a company increases substantially over time due to knowledge of culture, process, etc.

Executives care a lot when company actions cause employees to leave. Human capital is one of the essential ingredients to a successful company.

These things are real money and execs care about the impact on bottom line.

This is typically the most important aspect of an exit interview. In my experience, the employee's reason for leaving is thoroughly examined.

Does "condemning an action" have the same impact?
