You should absolutely tell the recruiters as much as you can about how you disagree with the ethics of these publicly held wall-street run companies, and also capitalism in general. Embellish as much as possible. Mention unions, worker's rights and try to fit proletariat in there somewhere.
This will hopefully prevent spamy recruiters bugging you incessantly with high paying job offers in future.
Then you can find a job at a nice small or medium size company, because there are almost never any ethical issues that come up at these kind of places.
- DamnYuppie 5y agoWell done. It actually took me to your last sentence to realize you were being sarcastic.
- fargle 5y agoI myself don't even know if I was truly being sarcastic or ha-ha-only-serious or just reality-is-a-dark-dark-place...
- ncmncm 5y agoMany small companies might wish they could be as evil, but simply haven't the scope to achieve it. But many others just sincerely want to provide value to customers reliably. Often enough that value is not harmful to the larger world, and sometimes is a pure good.
- doktorhladnjak 5y agoYou might think this is how it turns out but that’s not been my experience. I once made the mistake of responding to a Facebook recruiter that I could not work there because I believe it makes the world a worse place and wouldn’t be ethical. The recruiter instead launched into a whole bit about how they felt the same way, changed their mind, ba ba ba. We went back and forth several times, fairly pleasantly. The guy _still_ contacts me every few months like clockwork. I’ve stopped responding at this point.
