This is a very strong statement. It means you wouldn't want to work for any of the software or hardware firms that supply them. Eliminate Microsoft, IBM, Oracle, and most networking and big data providers from your list. Eliminate all financial services firms who make either commissions on the other sides of the trades with them, or get better bid-offer spreads as a result.
They're not saints, but it's very hard to remove oneself from where they have impact.
- kaeawc 13y agoThere are quite a lot of companies out there, I don't see how it would be so hard.
- kayoone 13y agoI dont think one has to go all the way into avoiding everything and anyone associated with these businesses for it to have a positive impact. But you could at least try to not work directly for them. Likewise, I am also very concerned about the sustainability of the human culture in general, still i dont stop eating meat completely or stop driving my car. But i will try to balance things and reflect my consumption patterns on a regular basis. Sorry, i am not a native english speaker and can not really word this in the way i want, but well, you might get the idea ;)
- mathattack 13y agoYour English is more than strong enough to get the point across. I agree with you - we do what we can on the margins. It's tough to take overly absolute positions. That's what I was calling out in my post.
