What are the odds that the hotline is just fully automated and goes:
“Press 1 to make a complaint” beep
“Please state your name, and employee ID”
“<name>, <id>”
“Thank you <name>. Your position has been terminated effective immediately. Have a nice day.”

Or they are an actual team of ethicists that just reaffirm that Raytheon employees should Minecraft themselves.
Oh no sorry that’s all wrong it’s an ethnicists hotline that reaffirm your training that it’s good and correct to bomb brown people
Cheerily: “Hello! Raytheon Ethics Department!”
“I am in an ethical dilemma.”
Serious: “Is it ‘Raytheon builds weapons that can harm civilians. Should I feel guilty about this?’ Basically is that your question?”
“Um… Pretty much.”
“See the email I just sent you.”
“I thought this was anonymous.”
“It is. We don’t know your name.”
“Oh…”
Cheery again: “Is there anything else I can help you with?”
“I don’t—”
“Bye!”
Click.
I thought I couldn’t imagine a more soul expunging job than RTX weapons designer, but they invented one
‘Hey quick q what’s the ethical amount of white phosphorus to put in the munitions we’re shipping to the IDF next week?’
Back when I was doing my masters degree in cumpooper science, the department sent out an email to students about a Lockheed Martin engineering ethics competition.
I remember watching black hat and defcon talks as a teenager and being disgusted how corpo and fedded up everything is.
Partner’s chud cousin kept talking about how the thousands fired a few years back were all from the “D and E and I” department.
