Other options have been available since forever and still are unless you're in a super niche field, and everything that touches ads and tracking / analytics isn't niche.
There's more than enough work out there, but those other jobs might not net an individual 10x the average household income. Can one survive on 5x or even 3x? Then there are more than enough alternatives.
If the employer has kidnapped your daughter and threatens to kill her if you don't build this tracking solution, then I can totally see how you'd do things you find reprehensible "under protest". But I doubt that's a common scenario, and generally people just don't care or they rationalize it ("I'm working on ads so the internet will not be paywalled").
- dylan604 4y agoYou're preaching to the choir a bit, but I'm just showing some empathy. I've been in places that started to move into directions that I didn't agree with, and caused me to start the process of moving. It takes time, and while you're lining things up, you have to do work to get paid. You can judge someone that accepted a job at bigAdTech, but there are other jobs that start out as an acceptable place but as things continue on with potentially new leadership or some other change causes things to become untenable. Not everything is simple, but you can armchair quarterback and make judgement one the limit information you have.
