How engineering founders navigate ethical disagreements about client work

Three of us civil engineers started this firm together and we've never figured out how to handle it when we disagree about taking on projects that push ethical boundaries - like that developer who wants us to find creative ways around environmental regulations. We just avoid talking about it and let whoever brought in the client make the call.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Avoiding difficult conversations about professional ethics is creating implicit policies that no one has explicitly endorsed.
