So you want other people to fight your ideological battles. If this would be 4chan I'd tell you that those programmers are "not your personal army". But have you considered that those people are actually happy to be building this dystopia and they think building it will advance their own children? And what you might construe as "evil" they would see as "advancing the future" and making the world a better place?
Kidding aside, don't you think a bit presumptuous on your side to go and simply ask people to stop working where you don't like them to work, as they might be owning you something?
A more fair course of action would be you to go out and build a better working place, one that doesn't build said dystopia, one with better perks and reputation and pay, and those programmers working at FB / Google would actually WANT to quit said companies and come work at this better place?
- pnw_hazor 7y agoGoogle is a brand. If that brand was held in the low regard it deserves the problem would work itself out. People would still work there, but they would be embarrassed about it. I talk about this stuff whenever I get the chance to do so. Hopefully it will help remind people that working at Google is not cool.
