The article aims to describe the functioning of the organization in terms of ethics. Goffman's concept called the front stage and the backstage of social reality was selected from a wide range of literature. This metaphor comes from the theater, where the audience has access only to the show performed on stage and not to the backstage and rehearsals. According to Goffman, this mechanism applies to any social environment. It is the front stage that the audience must judge morally. The second area of human activity takes place behind the scenes, in which ethical principles, to put it mildly, are no longer the dominant criterion for assessing people's behavior.
