    O no! Usually I have compassion for people or families losing employment/income but this headline feels more along the lines of The empire lays off 1,000 Stormtroopers

        I took a huge cut in pay fifteen years ago to take a job serving the under-resourced. I’m still doing it and our family makes sacrifices for it every year. I’d still help ex-Google employees haha.

      The tech industry is so massive with so much opportunity abound. It’s not been difficult to work for a company with morals.

      There’s also some metadynamics to be noted here. It’s basically impossible to talk about these issues online because so many are tech nerds who sold their soul to big tech a long time ago.

        There aren’t that many jobs where you can pretend to keep your hands clean. My husband’s first job was at a startup he described as “helping rich people gamble with their money”. I’m currently working for a public university, which I felt pretty great about from a morality perspective, but the pay is probably around 2/3 of what I would be getting in the private sector.
