I think it has always been there, it's just more out in the open now. People take pride in it and call it "work ethic" or "determination" or "ambition". And the contrast between good and bad isn't as profound. We're so desensitized, people can't or refuse to see the obvious.
I worked at a telemarketing company years ago where it just nauseated me to see how the management manipulated the TMs just to get the numbers up, right down to sleeping with them. Whatever it took.
