One of my jobs is in a vet clinic and we buy all our stuff from the big pharma too. The drug rep is a total slimeball.

I work for a casino.

At any given time during my shift I can walk down on the floor and find someone throwing their life away.


Especially an Indian casino, like Thunder Valley, which has gaffed chips in most of their slots and video machines. When it first opened, we went there a few times, but have since steered clear, as they pack the house, but you see very few winning anything.

OTOH, a trip to Nevada, and you can play for a couple days on the same money Thunder will take from you in a couple hours. They have a license to steal, and they don't take prisoners.
Whatever you do, do not use a players card, or slot card in those places. Someone, who knows told me, that once they decide you are a loser, and you will keep losing, once they have "your number".

Yes, it is an indian casino, but im not gonna say the name of it.

I work on the technical side of things and you dont have any more chance of losing if you use a players card or not.

Is the Real Estate industry perceived as evil?

I sure know some lying, cheating and stealing sack of sh!t brokers (mortgage & Realtor) that are going straight to hell.

I consider myself one of the good guys, "No I won't rubber stamp the value of this deal for 10% over market so you can make your commissions and the buyer is left with negative equity".

One of my wife?s internet buddies has a husband that is an expert witness who gets drunks off for DUIs. I would call that evil.

Everyone seems to hate Ford so yes. It sure gives us auto techs a lot of paying work though.

I work for a good company. I honestly feel like we try to help people (and I'm not a young, nieve person)...we give a LOT of money to charities, we're sponsoring villages in Africa and sending people to help out there, annually make the "best places to work in this town" lists, and somehow remain very profitable. Our CEO is very much a "world vision" sort of man.

i think his examples are pretty obvious

I don't hate MS. If you don't like them don't buy their products.
I don't hate the tobacco companies. I don't buy their products.
Only stupid people use check cashing companies.
No aregument with the telemarketers.
I don't hate big oil; I like driving my car, turning the heater on in the winter, etc, etc.

I work for a giant banking software company (not IniTech!). I like my job and my company is not evil (because they pay me).
