That depends
Every action and situation must be judged for itself. Making a living is not evil, intentionally hurting others to make your life better is.
A store owner that sells drinks is not evil.
But if the store owner jacks up the price during a heat wave he is getting greedy.
And if he intentionally limits supply so he can jack the price up even further then he's stepped over the line.
And if he refuses to give water to somebody collapsed from dehydration inside his store then he's out and out black hearted.
But a corporation would never consider it that way to begin with. Rather a group of managers would sit around a table with charts of statistics to figure out the number at which the corporation would make the largest profit.
Apparently I'm doing the devil's work and exploiting the working class for my company so I can put food on the table. Selfish me. I'm such a hypocrit for putting a percentage of my take home pay into the offering plate on Sundays.
You didn't read what I said clearly enough. Did you see the part where I said that a company can be evil even if none of it's employees are?
The corporate employees that are just doing their jobs are not necissarily evil. As a matter of fact they are not in general evil, the out right evil people make up a very small percentage of the population.
But that doesn't stop the consequences of those employees actions from being evil. The people that work for tabbaco companies are largely not evil, but the tabbaco companies themselves certainly are. Most of the people that work for Microsoft are not evil, but the companies products are. Most of Enron's employees where not bad people, but in doing their job they helped Enron damage the industry.
