"a lot of companies need mercenaries with broken moral compass" - This statement incriminates & implicates anyone working for Uber as a-moral. One can be employed at Uber and disagree with it's policies and culture.
It's like saying living in the U.S implies agreement with the president (Trump or Obama) and his policies. One can still live in the U.S. and disagree with the president.
Suffices to say that working for Uber isn't like working for the Nazi regime - you won't be tried for crimes against humanity like in the Nuremberg trials. If anything, working for Uber puts you in an select group of people who could make it through their difficult recruitment process.
So - DON'T QUIT. Try and work for a better workplace from the inside.
- gurkendoktor 10y ago> It's like saying living in the U.S implies agreement with the president No: Working for a company is opt-in, living in a country is opt-out. Quitting your job out of protest is a lot easier than emigrating. Choosing to work for Uber and disagreeing with their culture is more like voting for a president and then disagreeing with them. Why should the OP try to change a rotten company from within when there are plenty of other employers to choose from?

- brianpgordon 10y agoI imagine there are probably plenty of Uber engineers who are stuck with vested stock options that they can't afford to exercise. If they were to leave before an IPO they'd be losing out on tons of money. Golden handcuffs.
- ohashi 10y agoThat seems like a terrible argument, morals only matter when money isn't involved?
