I was wondering , if you will be ready to work fof an organisation that you oppose ideologically , for instance you are against big oil but you get a job interview in exxonmobil with good pay , would you consider it ?

*Edit : Recently a friend of mine got a marketing job for a company that had shady business practices , selling their product to gullible parents. Since it was a marketing job , the pay was good but my friend left it within a week , saying it does not suit his ideology.

    I was part of a group of people who got laid off from a small startup a few months ago. Many of us formed a discord group and have been supporting each other through the job hunt.

    One guy who’s been at his job for about a week recently said this:

    Many people have told me you shouldn’t take a job doing something that you love… That’s the main lesson I learned from getting laid off

    You end up pouring all your energy into it. I wanna do something that I hate, and I’ll use that hate and anger to fuel something else 😈

    It feels kinda good to look evil right in the face and put on a fake smile and say “yes I will take money from you to do bullshit work”
