Career NO MEANING without TRUST INTEGRITY

CAN I SAY that WITHOUT Trust, Integrity your IT PRACTICE would lose its MEANING... even if you are offered more money, more time off to be with family, more opportunity for advancement?

In good times
this question is unlikely to ever enter your mind BUT what if its 2009 when times are not good.. indeed you have heard people unexpectedly get laid off with very little savings, a lot of CD debt, a big mortgage, school fees AND who are now in deep trouble and in effect have been cast into severe survival mode... not knowing where their next meal is to come from.

ASIDE: Here is a link to an interesting survey that revealed 20% of IT Managers WERE willing to CHEAT

SO my QUESTION is... Thankfully you are NOT in that situation BUT

WHAT is your Roadmap Of VALUES that you use to SHUT DOWN all temptation around the following 5 conflicting needs of Family, Income, Integrity, Security, Safety and PROTECT yourself from a wrong decision.

Did I mention that your VALUES help PROTECT you against making a WRONG decision that will lead to your IT PRACTICE lose all meaning.
