@zleap that might be. I wonder if employers might start shunning those people for their employment history... because businesses can't really afford to have unethical staff.
@lightweight @zleap
I have a B.S. in Comp Sci and get rejected for retail jobs. I currently work full time at a fortune 50 company.
Want to explain wtf is up with the current job market?
Optimistically, it's just me- but that could be convoluted.
@lightweight @zleap
I have no real mental foothold as to get started on starting my own business. I really wish I did.
Any advice?
@lucifargundam @zleap I never had any ambition to run my own business. I came to it only because I couldn't see finding a role I wanted with an existing company/corporation/organisation. More on my story if you're interested in my motivations: https://davelane.nz/my-open-history
@lucifargundam @zleap my point being that starting your own company is always an option. I recommend setting up a consultancy (sole trader) company (I still have one). It also makes it easy for you to work for companies with minimal commitment and more control, and test the 'fit' for your ethics. I think it also impresses a prospective business customer with your organisation. If you find a company you're happy to work for, you can become an employee if you (and they) prefer.
@lucifargundam @zleap not sure. I worked as a research scientist for 5 years after finishing my MSc in engineering. Got frustrated with the organisation's poor management and their use of MS WIndows, so I quit and started my own company at age 29. I was able to avoid anyone else's incompetence other than my own. Worked out quite well. Now working for a charitable foundation, which is making the world a better place.
