The job market is still complicated and not that easy. I know quite a few people that ethically disagree with their job and have been trying to leave for over a year and the phone is just not ringing. So now they should just be banned from working anywhere else? What are the supposed to do? Quit and starve? |

"no regrets" is an important part of this. though it's not quite the precise word i'd like, since your friends could well not regret their choice to stay given the circumstances you outline. what i want is for our culture to fight against antisocial behavior: to encourage the everyday person to give sufficient weight to social impact when making decisions.
"sufficient" is subjective, so as a starting point replace that with "non-zero" and i think we come out ahead: the toxicly selfish (or socially ignorant) are encouraged to behave at least mildly pro-socially, and the friends you mention who tried to leave evidentially gave non-zero weight to their social impacts -- even if they failed -- and would pass such a test.
the world is gray and i don't want a purity test. but that's not a license to ignore our social responsibilities.
