I know of many cases of aggregious abuses of IBM managers in the Hudson Valley who physically harassed employees, severely abused religious employees, cheated employees, sometimes rewriting history to steal many years of accomplishments. I get the feeling HR's gut reaction is to pacify the situation and keep it quiet... but never to do the right thing because its the right thing. Can a corporation like IBM really police itself or is are ethics just a for publicity thing and when no ones looking... well... they aint necessarily there. They have open door policies but in recent years managers often identify and punish those who use them.

Well, IBM is a big place, and whoever's on top can dictate the corporate culture. If IBM makes a point of having zero tolerance for that sort of thing, then it'll be caught. In a place that big, it'll happen, but if they don't tolerate it, then it'll get snuffed.
On the other hand, if they tolerate it or ignore it, eventually it'll come back to haunt them - in the form of a lawsuit or whatever. It might not happen with the first case of abuse, but eventually it'll catch up with them.

no longer on the backside state of human nature. Civilization and societal hobbies have fostered an environment that has *conditioned* us to fall into chaos on the slightest lapse of social shape and rule of regulation. previous to the agricultural growth of the Fertile Crescent, the hunter/gatherer societies lived in stability with the organic international and stored each and each others numbers in examine. They have been tribalists with severe self-interest and that they existed for hundreds of years and nonetheless exist to on the present time. that's until finally we typhoon into their abode and tear all of it all the way down to construct a clean WalMart. If that's what "societal interest" breeds, count huge form me out of civilization.

consumer awareness. Ideally you and i will not buy from companies that do not meet the standards we feel a company should uphold. It is just like quality of product, my samsung phones kept breaking and now i will never buy from that company, or let my family purchase one of their phones.

Corporations don't. Why should they?
