What is the driver underlying “no possible position”? Are they no longer capable/qualified to do anything that’s still done in the economy?
Or are they just unwilling to take a rank-and-file position?
- Yoric 4y agoLet's try and come up with a few examples. I know two people who are former C-rank executives, both of them with strong ethical backbones. They have both led very high-profile projects (most people on HN know some of these projects). At this stage of their career, you could even say that ethics are not just part of their beliefs but also their personal brand. They have both been on the market for a few years by now. 1. Nobody will hire them as rank-and-file. It just doesn't make sense. 2. At least one of them has received offers to be the ethical maskerade for a company that actually violently goes against their ethics. They said "no". Last time I heard from them, they were both retraining in very different domains... with limited career success.
