Sure. Between Meta and DOGE or the ICE, Meta seems the lesser evil. OTOH, why work for someone evil at all? Aren’t enough jobs out there with ethical organisations that prioritise, or otherwise favour, common good?

That was just a thought experiment for comparison.

Of course there are much more ethical places to work at.

It's a false and unnecessary choice. Work somewhere else. There are always options.

That’s true. I’m facing exactly this issue - I have some less than nice orgs trying to hire me, but I politely turn down the recruiters without disclosing my reasons. They are just doing their jobs as best as they can and I won’t judge them for that.

I can say, however, that’s not the best decision from a financial standpoint, but what is the value of morality if you are not willing to sacrifice something for it?
