I'm not sure what the point of your post was, but to chime in, I am a government employee and for us "little people" ethics is a huge deal. Very strict lines/rules about what we can and cannot do. The same ethics rules don't seem to apply to government appointees and higher ups. Most recent thoughts coming to mind were Scott Pruitt and his "first class" travels and now Ben Carson and his expensive office remodel. They just willy-nilly exceeded their authorities. Most of us would be fired for doing that. Not these people.
I retired from State Government 7 years ago. During my career, ethical behavior was crucial for me and my staff and we considered it one of, if not the most important parts of our job. Not everyone can work to those standards, but in government, it is VERY important. People tend to look sideways at us anyway, so high standards are even more important than in the private sector.
Congratulations on your retirement and your career. It is difficult not to bend with the wind, to just go along. Probably more so in public service than out.
But, what is your point?
