@codinghorror bills to pay, mouths to feed...

Ehm... Feeding your family is much more immediate and important to most people than the vague masses of other people. It's not inhumane, it's practical. I dislike these companies and I have never entertained an option to work for them, but I also had (past tense) other options. I chose a company that had values I believed in and then they were acquired by a big faceless uncaring multinational profit cruncher. At some point, there aren't many options.

@infosec812 @ghosttie highly debatable; these companies (Meta, for example) have VERY difficult, extremely strict, intensive interview processes.. if you have the skills to get past that, you likely could get hired at a lot of other tech companies or startups.
@codinghorror @infosec812 @ghosttie 100% this. The people working at companies like Meta are not the ones who have no alternatives. They’re decidedly not the ones with three low-paying jobs full of daily abuse and no healthcare, trying to survive. Many could literally choose where to work. It might result in a mild inconvenience at worst. They chose the likes of Meta. That’s what’s confounding. The wilful ignorance.
