Quick reminder that if you work for FAANG, you are complicit in your employers misdeeds.

Tax evasion, union busting, systemic erosion of privacy, lobbying and regulatory capture... even if you don't work on this stuff, you contribute to a system of capital which funds this stuff. You drink coffee and have lunch with peole who are doing this stuff. And you still deposit your paycheck every month.

Whatever your annual salary, it costs about 1.5x that to employ you, with benefits. The company is doing this because they believe that by employing you, they stand to earn /more/ than that. In effect, even if you don't directly work on this stuff, by working there at all you are giving $employer 6 figures worth of more money to spend on unethical business endevours.

Don't work for FAANG. I will hold you accountable for the deeds of your employer.

@sir what's the point of your blanket condemnation? To alienate those who are not aware of your reasoning, and further strengthen the conviction of those who are against it? I'm sorry to disappoint, but tomorrow is not the the judgment day and you are not god. Nobody cares who you would like to hold accountable for what. The way I see it your cause is to convince, and this kind of rhetoric is nothing but detrimental for it.
