As a developer, should I also quit if I don't want to vacuum the carpets or restock the supply cabinet? If you need your product promoted, maybe hire someone with a marketing degree.
- hackinthebochs 9y agoNo, but you should quit if you've created a product that you wouldn't even use and have no interest in fixing it.
- tluyben2 9y agoYou are not working alone; maybe I love the stuff I make but dislike what my colleague makes? If I would work at Paypal; I see the value of the online product but I definitely see no value at all for offline. So even though I stand behind part of the product why would I use it for the parts I do not like?
- PhasmaFelis 9y agoWhy would you assume that any random PayPal employee (a) was directly involved in the point-of-sale payment system, (b) actively dislikes the PoS system (as opposed to simply seeing no advantage over their existing debit card), (c) has the ability and authority to fix whatever they think is wrong? This notion that it should be mandatory to love your company and its products is so fucking Orwellian.
- chickenfries 9y agoI don't now why you're being downvoted. The vast majority of PayPal employees had nothing to do with PayPal's POS system. This isn't some start up with one product.
