I don't understand the reasoning here. How does being paid more justify unethical acting? Especially since you are getting by very very well in the tech industry in general. Isn't that like saying "I'm kicking puppies all day, but it's paying enough to finance the second Lamborghini, so how could I decide against it"?
(If you were referring to moral offsetting, that could indeed work, assuming you donate enough to charities, but your post didn't sound like that.)
- was_a_dev 5y agoHow does being paid more justify unethical acting? Honestly, it doesn't. But trying to appeal to someone already working in an unethical position isn't going to work - that person themselves is unethical. Like most things, the driving force will be down to economics and prestige. What else is keeping that employee at Google? I doubt it is loyalty
