Is working for McDonalds unethical? Well yes, because people get obese and live shorter lives.
Is working for Tobacco companies unethical? Well yes, because people die from cancer which was caused from smoking for example.
Is working for the bank unethical? Well yes, because most banks make people buy bonds that have a high profit for the banks but lower for the customers.
Is working for your local grocery store unethical? Well yes, because you are again making people fat by placing candy at the exit so you profit more.
Everything is unethical to some extent, just decided what level you want to be on and be happy.
- JoeAltmaier 9y agoHm. Sounds like temporizing. Clearly, working to produce a deliberately addictive product that is corrosive to health and happiness, is bad. If the product has any redeeming feature, and a reasonable legitimate market, isn't that different in more than a qualitative way? If I worked at McD's National, and were juggling fat/salt/sugar to produce the most addictive fries, then I'd call that unethical. But to sell beef burgers to folks in a hurry for lunch, no.

- JoeAltmaier 9y agoI would be a terrible counter person. I wouldn't sell to the addicted, just like a bartender has to cut off drunks. And I'd probably get fired. So yeah.
