I would love to learn if people have structured approaches for identifying companies that are in that "least bad" band, but yeah, I agree that as long as we have a system based on extreme wealth inequality, it's going to be pretty difficult to find moral work. At the end of the day most of us are working to make billionaires richer--in the best case we do that by genuinely creating value, but frequently it's about taking money away from some middle or lower class person (however indirectly).

- throwaway894345 4mo agoThe difficulty isn't in making the moral assessment, it's in searching through tens of thousands of employers and understanding their business models.
- ImPostingOnHN 4mo agoHow can you take a job without knowing what the company does? Are we talking about Lumen or something? You don't need to work tens of thousands of jobs anyways, just 1 (maybe 2 or 3).
- throwaway894345 4mo agoJesus dude, I don’t want to wade through thousands of shitty companies to find the companies worth applying to.
