what is the furthest you’d go immorally for a fresh salary? Hell I’d work for Palantir for a nice $250k or be a manager at Evil Corporation Inc if I got a crisp $300k.
or are you a goody two shoes who will stand by your principles even if it means pain!
Hey guys, now think about it again but now you have 3 kids and a mortgage.
I did. That’s why I don’t have 3 kids and a mortgage.
Cute. But some people are in their fifties or sixties with a family, have been able to “follow their morals” all their lives, and then lose their job. Try finding a job when you’re that old.
You’re all so fucking smug.
I don’t mean any disrespect, you’re right, food/housing insecurity is a systemic problem even though it doesn’t need to be and high-quality individual decisionmaking doesn’t provide any guarantees.
If I’m being flippant it’s a reaction to those who say families (especially large families) are a joy and blessing and everybody needs to own a house. That might be true in some cases but for others of us that was never something we could count on so we had to adjust. No disrespect to anyone though, truly we all deserve better.
Yup. figured out that strategy back in the aughts and what I saw back then was not even as bad as it is now so I underestimated the suck.
