What is going on with all this cult-following of "FANG" companies? I seriously don't get it. From what I see those are close to the least ethical companies in tech.
It really disturbs me that people chose a job for fame and money in those companies way before choosing an interesting project, or something that you can believe in.
- darkpuma 8y agoIn America, financial success endears more than ethical behavior. And when the financially successful get away with unethical behavior, it reinforces the idea that financial success and ethical behavior are antithetical, which only encourages even more people to behave unethically. A big part of the problem is that absent strict and attentive government regulation and enforcement of the law, crime does pay. We tell kids that crime doesn't pay, but that's only true when the government is on the ball.
