A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Rules: (interactive)

1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

6) No US Politics.

Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online

Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

How do you work at a job where you fundamentally disagree with the company's ethics? (lemmy.world)

I mean working somewhere like Qualcomm or Microsoft when you care about FOSS, democracy, and the public commons, or a weapons manufacturer for a military that invades other countries and kills innocent people in their homes.

I have nothing. I need a paycheck. Finding a job in America is Hell.

God help me if it comes to that. Nobody is helping me and I'm getting desperate.

Take the $50k signing bonus and use it to fuck off to Belize or somewhere

probably does not come right away and I would not be surprised if ultimately they stiffed a bunch with that. Likely its something that gest "vested"

[–] motor_spirit@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

Wasn't trying to project some bs but just highlighting the thought process ya know. Very unfortunate times and ignorant maneuvers.

They don't take desperate people they take violent people.

If they're desperate that's more fuel for their racial hatred.
