Would you prefer the armament factory be staffed by warmongers? That seems objectively worse.
The change is not "objectively worse" - it is the same for them and is definitely better for you. This is a pointless take.
Many other comments here expand on these themes - you're not going to influence the company direction by staying. You should not be surprised when the armaments factory makes bombs, or the influence factory makes political influence.
1. No one is surprised when the armaments factory makes bombs; they claim to. Does Meta claim to be an influence factory? Ha! They argue tooth and nail against this fact in every court they've been sued or charged in. Thus, it is certainly surprising when a space for connecting to others makes specific connections, particularly political ones impossible or difficult in the midst of the election. I don't think most people saw that coming; perhaps you did because you are obviously more clever than the rest of us.
2. A zero percent chance versus a close to nil chance are objectively different. Which one is better or worse is of course context dependent.
3. If you work at a company that does bad things and you are trying to steer it away from those bad things, it is not clear that you are becoming complicit. Some could argue that you are the opposite of complicit.
4. Perhaps the point is not merely influencing your employer's business direction, but also that of your colleagues.
Sorry, bud, you didn't clinch it.
2. I was being generous.
3. "Some could argue that you are the opposite of complicit", and they'd be wrong. "If you work at a company that does bad things and" let me stop you there at the "and". Your real job (the stuff before the "and") isn't negated by your hobby, and if they're severely at odds then your work effectiveness will suffer.
4. How did that work out for you?
2. weaker still.
3. you don't own morality, buddy.
4. complete miss; i don' work for a company whose motives i question.
3 Still not clear if you possess it either.
4 So you're already solved this, and not at all in the way that you're advocating for? That's revealing.
Your responses are myopic, juvenile and add no understanding, so I am at this point going to say: good bye and have a nice day.
Narrator: They didn't.
