I’m absolutely aware that’s where my paycheck comes from. I’m simultaneously and acutely aware that the exact rationalization above is also used to excuse poor decision making In some companies that has real human consequences that happen to exist parallel with ‘getting a paycheck’ and those consequences and the behavior behind them are no less worthy of critique just because ‘paycheck’. These are my ethics. You don’t have to share them, I’m not here demanding that you do. I’d just rather dispense with the obviousness of “but that’s how you get paid”. Of course it is.
