I disagree. How much would the world change if everyone started doing it tomorrow?
> you're quitting for your own sake, not because of any "principles".
We're already written. I told them they need to improve how they treat people, audit and remove bureaucracy, and do better for everyone to keep working with me.
I didn't ask for any terms for myself. Just doing better in general, modernizing, and treating everyone better. I probably could have gotten my personal goals met easily with a personal letter, instead I'm in a public fight.
You can be as cynical as you want, but I walked away from $50k, a solid credential, and a lot of open doors to try to improve an important-but-badly-flawed-industry.
Anyways. Keep your cynicism and skepticism. I admire it, actually, and the open dialog. But if you change your mind later, will you write it publicly? A lot more is going to happen going forwards.
