- tingol 6y agoSomeone working at a high profile software company has problems paying bills? Yeah sure...
- inetknght 6y agoPeople come from all walks of life. You should learn some empathy.
- jlund-molfese 6y agoIt can be pretty hard to get, for example, visa sponsorship. A pariah company might be the only option which allows some people to meet their goals.
- newsclues 6y agoIs it possible that that employer is the first one to give a struggling person a job?
- c7DJTLrn 6y agoEven if nobody wanted to work for them, they'd just offer even better salaries until people did. Punish the politicians who allow this unethical software. Punish the CEOs and managers who make it happen. But don't punish the guys on the ground just making a living.
- stale2002 6y ago> Even if nobody wanted to work for them, they'd just offer even better salaries until people did. Well then that is all the more justification for discriminating against them, for ethical reasons, right? They were highly compensated. Therefore, there is no problem with discriminating against them for ethical reasons.
- hobs 6y ago"Superior Orders" has been a tried and tested excuse - it doesn't work. If your shitty software harms people you don't just get to throw up your arms and shrug.
- macintux 6y agoThere’s a huge gap between concentration camps and software that can be misused by administrators to wrongly punish students. If I had to feed my kids and had no other options, I wouldn’t shoot civilians, but I might well work for a software company where I had qualms about the output. In fact, it’s hard (probably impossible) to find any large company that doesn’t have some negative impact on the world.
- hobs 6y agoYes there is, just like there's a huge difference in the amount of disdain I would apply between those two activities. Either way you dont get to eject your agency and involvement.
- driverdan 6y agoIf they're applying for a new job it seems like that's exactly what they're trying to do.
- kulig 6y agoJust doing my job, said the nazi guards.
