I am not helping create any future. I provide labor and services in exchange for money. I am not in management or a board member therefore I do not participate in decision making. Ideally I would vote in elections to help create a future but given the alternatives I am not participating in that either.
It is sad to me when I see people who work in software industry thinking their work is shaping the future, I mean it is in that technology empowers people to do what they want be it good or evil. But what saddens me is that the nice wages earned and free time could be used to make an actual difference instead of hoping your company will do it for you -- essentially transfering responsibility to C-suite managers.
I would prefer if proper legislation and law enforcement worked and much of why it doesn't boils down to money.
I have a responsibility to take care of myself and those closest to me before caring about the collective's future and my career decisions reflecct that. I will work for any company not affiliated with a military force so long as it empowers me as an individual to do as I wish without depending on the company.
If companies who help create a better future has an easier time hiring than companies who help create a worse future, well, that's a direct incentive you can be a part of.
You might not care or prioritize it, but then you probably don't have the right to expect the rest of the world to do that either?
I don't know, I'm just trying to figure this out for myself...
I don't care for hiring being hard from them. Practices that hurt others or shape a bad future should be illegal outright. Regulating companies is something I pay a tax to my government on.
Companies are not individuals, their existence itself is a privilege and they have no rights or liberties.
This is the same b.s. they use for enviornmentalism. Blame individuals part instead of corporate and government policy. I would be glad to discuss legislative change, changes in government even armed and violent change but I will not vote by wallet, habits or employment because that is not my responsibility. Privileged entities like corporations are regulated and have no rights, if they are not being regulated properly then the regulators or legislators need to be held accountable.
