Assuming your dichotomy, you should lie in wait, and at any opportunity reduce and undo the harm you're contributing to. You may well already be doing this. If you prescribe to "the end justifies the means", you can stay fully apathetic (blocking out the guilt and shame). Worst case is you find you can't wash your hands of what you've done as you're old and dying (blockage breaks), and one could say it's too late to care then. Best case, you were worrying needlessly and the problem wasn't one (change in perspective). Bitter to me. Maybe it isn't even a "problem" or "evil" to you, and you're reacting to your perception of "someone else's perspective on evil being forced on you" while you don't consider it as such. On dichotomies: it's usually a lot more interesting to find a third option or to synthesize the two sides to get to a new position. So perhaps: * "compensate for your contribution to the evil by reducing it on a larger scale, e.g. company-wide" * "reduce expansion of evil in the company and support it's reduction" * "transition to running your own company" * "pay back society in some form or other once you have sufficient financial security for your family and yourself". Maybe you have to do this for now, and it's understandable you can't consider the society above your family or yourself, but it can't truly be the final solution? IMO, there's no cause or outcome where you are justified in working for an "evil" company, especially long-term as you'll inevitably contribute to the company's success (lest you be fired). Do you think there's a way to consider yourself forced to contribute to evil without running up a debt? (I mean "evil" from your own personal perspective.)
