It's certainly an ethical issue.

I'd withdraw, eventually. Only after I had worked my utmost to change things, but if I *really* found they were 'complete jerks' ultimately I would leave. But that's because it would violate my principles and ethics to continue to beat my head against a brick wall.

Timely topic. I did just this recently with a client I'd worked with for over 2 1/2 years, when I finally determined there wasn't anything more I could do to change the client in the top management role and that he wasn't willing to change (he'd rather complain about his people than do anything about them). One of my principles are that if it isn't valuable, I won't do it, let alone charge for it. And I decided to stop. Felt great!

There is a difference between a consultant and an employee in this situation. As a consultant, I can decide if I "need" the business or decide not work with certain organizations. I left an engagement in the middle of the project when it was clear that management had no desire to improve, but wanted a consultant to come in and "bless" their data. The employees loved having me there because I would take the blame for the poor process data, but I could not longer support the analysis of data without support from management to change!

Yes, of course. One's a consultant, one's an employee. But every person can, and does make their own choices.
