I want to point out there's a big difference between judging people without nuance and what the parent post says. To me it seems you read a lot in between the lines on the post above which I didn't get nearly the same reading on. I took it simply as "I see Facebook on a resume, it's not a full positive for me like many may see it in the tech world" and would be a possible ethical red flag.

I feel the same at a personal level and Facebook is far from the only company on my mental list there, but with any of these it is not a categorical judgement or an immediate eliminator of someone in any situation.

I really didn't mean "I see FB I toss resume" or anything. In fact I have a huge desire to see people leave FB as well. I've worked for places I disagreed with completely but had to make a paycheck and that is soul crushing.

But they're fine right now. And my twitter is full of people who have been laid off recently and NEED gainful employment. If unemployment were where it was 3 months ago I wouldn't have said a word, especially not this firebrand.

If you accept the premise that these companies do evil, then its entirely appropriate to criticise those who enable that.

Take the big bucks, take the criticism.

Edit: your racial jibe has no place in intelligent discussion.

Sorry, I might have misunderstood, but did you just equate choosing to work at Facebook with being black?

The comment is somewhat coherent in the first line. I'm not sure what happened after that. Nor am I sure why he wrote "You are someone I wouldn't hire" as if such a topic would come up during the interviewing process.

I'm really reaching to understand how you could interpret my comment that way. I'm equating judging large swaths of people in the way the parent does as equivalent to society assuming black people "deserve" what they get.

Voluntarily working for Facebook and being judged for is not the same as being black.

Their individual action is that they work for facebook.

And continue doing so each day.

do fb employees think they get paid enough not to deal with the moral and ethical issues their work creates?

You act like stereotypes are completely inaccurate.

Do Apple users generally care about open source? Do they care about quality hardware? Are Apple users Nerds?

Sure you can find an exception, but when you compare to the majority of users, you can find similarities.

It's generally frowned upon to stereotype when hiring.
