I get the feeling they are rediscovering white collar crime, and how CEO of powerful organizations engage in a variety of unethical behaviors that come out in troves if you start investigating them.
Sure some of them also engage in sexual harrasment. But drawing the conclusion from there is just backward.

I never got why people fib their expenses. First of all it's a form of stealing and not a morally defensible form of stealing (like stealing a loaf of bread, because you're hungry).
Moreover, it gives your employer ammunition in case it's needed. And all for a 20$ here or there.
That "everybody does it" seems like a really bad argument to me.
