I think most people - as part of their workplace - end up having to do stuff that they don't agree with ethically or morally. Depending on the kind of job/situation, this may be a thing that comes up only rarely, or it may be a daily thing, which can cause extreme stress on a positive individual.
One could say - hey, quit your job, and find something that totally aligns with your principles - and in the long term, it's probably good to move towards that goal. But in the short term, I think we can only extend compassion to ourselves - and most others - who are working in circumstances where some kind of 'submission' to negativity has to occur to keep one's job.
My friend, for example, is a high school teacher who has chosen deliberately to work in an neighborhood of social disadvantage. Lot of migrant families etc, and english is not necessarily the first language. He loves his job for the most part (he gets to help kids who need it); but there are lots of pressures to 'teach to the test', and write student evaluations that are somewhat untruthful, to make the school look better.
He *hates* that aspect, and he can only work with the school's (and the Education Department's) Directives. He does that BS as part of the job, so he can serve in a positive capacity the other 90% of the time.
It's part and parcel of working in an mixed-polarity society. Hopefully those negative aspects become unravelled over the coming years, as we can acknowledge the true worth of every individual; without the need to relentlessly test for non-sensical numbers, which are meaningless even before the test has been completed.
