Vanity Fair magazine: Last May, four university professors in the US published a report that showed that the majority of people are capable of doing something slightly unethical. More importantly, though, they found that the small mistake would lead to even more egregious conduct over time, according to BBC. In 2009, Madoff told Vanity Fair magazine, It starts out with you taking a little bit, maybe a few hundred, a few thousand. You get comfortable with that, and before you know it, it snowballs into something big and While most people who cross the ethical line wont steal billions of dollars from unsuspecting investors or bring shame to one of the worlds most venerable publications, there is new research to suggest that the average worker isnt immune from committing some pretty heinous acts. The papers authors call it the slippery-slope effect and called Madoff a good example though an extreme one of how small indiscretions can get worse over time.
