> to seem arrogant and sanctimonious about it.

I’m firm, firm in my belief that the people who have chosen of their own free will to work for FAANG have made moral compromises that disqualify them from my employment.

I don’t get how this is “sanctimonious”.

These people have made some absolutely terrible life choices, and alienation is a part of the consequence package that comes with those life choices.

You think netflix is a moral compromise? What about the US government?

Netflix was pretty neutral until about 4 years ago. Their leadership jumped the shark and the entire platform has been trash since.

Side personal note: Fuck you guys for getting rid of stargate.

How is the platform being trash (also arguable) related to employee's moral compromises?

Why FAANG specifically? For instance, how does Apple fail ethically, in your view, compared to the others? Are there any other companies- Microsoft, Uber, Twitter and so forth you would also have a problem with?

There are some people, especially say 10+ years ago, who thought e.g. Google wasn't evil.
