Facebook Employees Are Quitting or Switching Departments Over Ethical Concerns

You can replace facebook with google, apple, ms or amazon and you have the same picture though.

And they got the best projects and the most money.

Yet when I said to my relatives, 5 years ago, that I refused an interview from google and facebook, they questioned my sanity.

I don't pretend to have the moral high ground here, as i made enought bad things in my life, but this kind of pondering work opportunities doesn't happen enough imo.

I think what they don't have is their CEO testifying in front of the Congress after building a platform whose hunger for money made it an exceptional weapon against society. Smart, young people start avoiding companies only after public perception turns against them. Facebook is closer to that than Amazon or even Google.

You were prematurely anti-facist.

(It's an old phrase: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/premature_antifascist )

I don't remember when I felt that, oh man I wish I had a shot at working at google, to where I am now. There was a bit of "meh" in between.
