Why are they anxious? that's the question ... “There’s a lot of anxiety. How could you not have that? Tech companies are fueling some of the most egregious human-rights abuses.”

How many of us work for a company fueling egregious human-rights abuses? I work for a company that just sells handbags and stuff.

My anxiety is about deadlines and such.

I think its more the nature of the work. Ambiguous time required to solve a problem. Constantly changing tools and disposable knowledge base. Disposable output. etc.
