That you've worked in unethical businesses that flout the ideas behind these rules does not make the concept of the rules a bad thing. It's like saying we shouldn't have murder laws because people still get murdered.

I completely concur with you. But the rules for an employer to judge his/her employees are not the rules by which an employee should judge himself.

In my limited experience, businesses seem to be about 50/50 for some sort of conscience versus amoral/immoral. (And amoral is fine if lawful.)
