If the job is great in other ways, then it is the wrong priorities to let that decide it I would say. But if you are undecided, perhaps this is the way you find you are not too keen on it.
- Brian_K_White 5y agoThe job is great in all ways, except my chair has a wire that pokes me in the leg all day e ery day. It's $250k and interesting worthwhile work that isn't based on scamming anyone. But I can't get a different chair and there is no kind of special pants that can armor against that wire. I just have to be poked, every day, all day. No one can say what are "wrong priorities" for anyone else. If a job where you had to suffer a bad smell would not bother you enough, good for you, but you can't tell anyone else "it's just a little smell it doesn't matter". Just like no one else can tell you you are wrong for tolerating things they find intolerable. Actually, if anything, there is actually a small right that goes the other way. Everyone who tolerates indignities makes life harder and more miserable for everyone else. But I'm pretty sure you would reject any such argument that anyone has any right to say that your priorities are wrong.
- mongol 5y agoExcept you would not sit on a chair that pokes you in the leg, you would work with a piece of software that milions of people use, and manages to get by with. By all means, reject the job offer, but the comparison is ludicrous.

- dijit 5y agoThe difference is being force fed McDonald’s vs eating it because you enjoy it. If you eat McDonald’s. It doesn’t mean I have to. If you use teams, I have to.
- Brian_K_White 5y agoWhat? I was pointing out that "millions of people do x" means nothing. Millions of people may indeed actually like using Teams.
