Nice morality shaming. The truth is as humans we are capable of abstract thought, and wishing for a world where we don't have to choose between compromise our principles or being judged by society, even sometimes friends & family, as a "loser".


Ok but you’re not going to ever make any changes when you don’t understand or choose not to accept the terms/reality of the game itself.


Not everyone can "just be amoral bro". People often have serious hinderances to that (be it religion, personal philosophy, a conscience, whatever).


Ok… I’m not saying it’s good or bad. I’m just saying people should know their place and be realistic. The best way to practice your morals (I’m religious) is in your own enterprise.

You can bust your ass all you want but ultimately if you’re not in the shareholder class (again not the 200k bonus you got that’s chump change) you are a resource. A pod. That can be taken offline immediately.

Go start your own business that you run with good morals. That’s what I did.

I far enjoy the gains from that than any 400k plus TC job where I’m just a cog. And btw I’ve never received less than a EE or equivalent rating. Still been affected by dumb company wide policies.
