Empirically, no. It's an exernality. Expecting private parties to manage externalities in economic transactions is nice, but demonstrably insufficient.

I think you need a level of stability which generally doesn't exist in today's working environment to be able to pick an employer based on that metric.

Depends. I wouldn’t want to work in the oil industry if I could avoid it. But I’m sure it could be greenwashed, even to myself. I’d have no second thoughts about working in defense (I’m from a small country on Russia’s doorstep, not the US if that matters), quite the opposite it would be filled with interesting technical problems I’m sure. But defense usually has terrible wfh policies.

Google employees felt that way at one time, relying on the old motto “Do no evil”. How’d that work out?

i'd file that with

- Lack of obstacle/roadblocks to actually doing good work

...good having more than one meaning

I have a similar expectation: not working for any military tech and supporting genocide (with tech or association).

It's so disappointing to see how many people don't mind working on weapons.
