U wonder what kind if person thinks "you know what, today I will go in an make the world a little bit worse than it was before"...I simply cannot understand how people are willingly working at a place like Meta.
Not to defend them too much but I'd assume that a lot of the employees are just trying to make a living. The department I'm working at was recently taken over and I have a mortgage and a kid so even if I morally disagree with some of the practices of my new employer I can't just quit without uprooting the lives of my family.
It's the same for the majority of workers stuck in big corporate jobs. The capitalist orphan crushing machine will crush all in the end. Not just the orphans.
That may be true for you, but it's far from universally true. I have changed jobs several times (maintaining my industry) without even moving or uprooting anything for my family. I would wager most actually have viable alternative options without moving.
i love these down votes against pointing out the irrationality of the narrative that you must uppend your entire life to stop being an asshole.
and that's despite the common knowledge that there's a better chance at higher pay if you switch jobs. lol
