Comment on Would you work for a corporation that you oppose ideologically, if the pay is good?
khannie@lemmy.world 10 months agoI have been exactly there and was so, so glad when I eventually left.
Could you switch and take a small hit on those big ticket items?

Not really. I have unavoidable financial obligations coming soon that I will need this payrate for. I actually love the work I do, too, but I have a distaste for the employer, so it’s a weird feeling. I get to play with Linux and containerization and Python, which I love, and I’m generally self-managed, so the only thing wrong with the job is that, at the end of the day, my work feels wasted where I’m doing it. On the other hand, I use the skills I gain at work outside of work on OSS stuff, so it’s an OK tradeoff.
