Would you ever have ethical objections to working for 'The Man'?

Think of the largest, most profitable and overwhelming dominant companies in America today. Would you ever work for one if you were given a job? Why...or if you wouldn't, why not?

We're talking a position of management, not factory or blue-collar jobs.

Sure, money is money.

Anyone that says no is probably lying to themselves.

Yeah but the pressure would be terrible.

I wouldnt have any problems. The money would be good to have.

I'm jaded when it comes to coporate life. I just can't handle that atmosphere well. Independent thinking isn't encouraged, and the departments are so segregated and blind to the other departments that the left hand never knows what the right hand is doing.

Just not my cup of tea

Ethical objections are exactly why I didn't apply for a developer job at Microsoft. Some of their technology is actually pretty good, but I disagreed strongly with their monopoly leveraging business practices.

 

I've seen what it does to people (a member of my immediate family is a corporate drone, and it's annoying...it's like she thinks the company is a team, and she has to defend them no matter what), and while I don't think I'd really be happy or satisfied working in a corporate environment, I think working for the federal government would be at least as bad, if not worse.

The first thing you have to learn when you swim in the corporate fish tank, is how to be a shark.

Sure, a job is a job, unless they were killing babies or something outlandish like that then why not?

I work for baby killers. If I work hard enough, one day I'll be killing babies too.

Ever heard of those morons telling that money isn't everything in life? Must be some sort of commies ;-)
