I don't see the problem with this passage: As employees we support the principle that Netflix offers a diversity of stories, even if we find some titles counter to our own personal values. Depending on your role, you may need to work on titles you perceive to be harmful. If you’d find it hard to support our content breadth, Netflix may not be the best place for you. I've been called upon to code for law enforcement and the military despite being somewhat left-wing in my personal politics. I've been called upon to code for religious organizations despite being a quietly militant atheist. I don't necessarily like it, but if your personal ethics are more stringent than that of your coworkers you might have to put aside your ideals and dirty your hands if you want to make a living. If the work you're asked to do is that egregiously out of line with your ideals, you should remember that "at-will employment" works both ways. You don't need to give notice or justification. If you dislike your employer or their policies, ghost 'em.

Agreed, at-will means you can leave at any time, though perhaps at a cost to your career. I've just never seen a company explicitly say, effectively, "if you don't like it, you can leave" as part of their employee guidelines. Seems unnecessarily blunt.

  > Agreed, at-will means you can leave at any time, though perhaps at a cost to your career. This is why I have a job, and not a career. If I'm really unhappy with my job, I can save up, quit and try to get a better one.

  > Agreed, at-will means you can leave at any time, though perhaps at a cost to your career. I'm not sure how quietly leaving a workplace will come at a cost to a career. People need to leave employment for various personal reasons (e.g. death in the family, burnout, pregnancy, health issues), and at least in our sector I've never seen anyone judged poorly for that.

    Unless you leave comparatively too much more often than your peers and competiting candidates you will probably be fine.
