Your comment is a great insight into modern, black and white thinking, where one is expected to equate working at FB with committing the worst atrocities.
If I had a job, for example, maintaining photo storage at FB, should I be so ethically outraged that I should upend my whole life, and my family's life, to run away as quickly as possible?
- freeopinion 7y agoThis is not the argument to which I responded. If you want to argue that many jobs at FB are perfectly ethical, make that argument. If you want to argue that _every_ job at FB is ethical, make that argument. If you want to argue that it is hard to quit FB because of money and schools, and that that changes the ethics, see my comment above.
- 5trokerac3 7y agoYou're crossing the wires on two different points. 1. I'm not arguing that every job at FB is ethical, I'm arguing that most aren't so unethical that one would permanently taint one's soul by staying there. This is especially so if you consider that FB has a chance to change, no matter how slim that chance is. Perhaps these people believe in the stated mission of FB and think they can help. 2. It's not at all easy to leave a job - not every engineer is a 20-something nomad with no kids. Finding a gig that matches a AAA, SV company in sum benefits is a hard task on its own, even if you're not geographically limited due to familial sentiment or obligations.
