If your job is paying you to beat up pregnant women, would you still say that it was primarily on the corporation?

People are responsible for their own moral choices.

It depends, I guess? If someone was going around offering anyone $10m to beat up a pregnant woman, then yeah I’d say they are the main person to blame if a pregnant woman gets beat up as a result.

Again, that’s not to say that the person who did the beating isn’t also responsible.

Is beating a pregnant woman the same as giving poor customer support?

What is the morality of working a customer support job to support yourself, if the company you work for gives poor customer support as a matter of policy/choice? Would that make you a bad person? If you do business with such a company, and make the mistake of calling for customer support, what would that say about you?
