Anything that requires me to exert force with my hands repetitively for long periods, like teasing or twisting. I’ve done it while fixing things around the house, and I’m damn sure I’d get carpal tunnel very quickly. But typing and moving the mouse all day, every day is fine & dandy! 🙃
probably dangerous ones, like right wingers in red country. like oil rigs, crab fishing,etc. of course the opportunities in those areas are lacking otherwise.
Everyone just saying jobs they dont like, or that they have ethical qualms about, but ignoring “regardless of pay” - and I don’t believe you.
Just imagine the salary for the position is $500m per year. At a certain point, you would be able to quit the job with plenty of money for the rest of your life after working for a very short period of time, or else you would be able to use the money to make more good in the world than the harm done by your labor.
If you have a skill set someone is offering $500k for, someone less shitty is going to be offering at least $400k. So you’re not giving up $500k, you’re giving up $100k or 20%. I’ve taken bigger pay cuts than that in exchange for increased job satisfaction.
Every other job will only hire you for a normal wage that you would make in the real world.
The point of the exercise is to grapple with an ethical quandry, not to sidestep it.
I’m not particularly interested in an exercise which is completely irrelevant to real-world scenarios. In the real world your choice would look more similar to my example, so that is the more relevant hypothetical.
Anything public facing or anything that has me carrying around a gun. Both are absolute no-gos in my mind.
ICE thug Slumlord’s handyman Anything that takes orders directly from the Trump administration
Anything in the Oil Industry, Cops, Military, or Evil Multinational Corporations
Commercial fisherman
Deep-sea diver
That bottom one. It’s the kind of job where you can do everything perfectly and still fucking die horribly. Pays like 200k a year thought.
Right after Project Veritas got subpoenaed by Congress back in, I think, 2015 or 2016, they offered me a well paid position as an interface designer for the website. I had been unemployed for years by that point, and I was extremely desperate for work. I never applied for the job, and I don’t know how on earth they got my my résumé.
Suffice it to say, I told them to go fuck themselves.
That should be evidence to them that they are the bad guys. No one tells a job offer to “fuck off” if the company isn’t utterly shit. Even if Meta or Twitter offered me a job I’d probably just use a curt “no” and move on. But, Project Veritas, Heritage Foundation, Palantir? They’d get a “fuck off” for sure.
Yeah. I’ll interview with anyone who wants it, but for Palantir and Heritage Foundation and others who are actively working to make peoples’ lives worse? They’d get a very Canadian “no, sorry*, I would prefer not”.
- Canada has like 5 meanings for ‘sorry’, including “I’m saddened you can’t be better than you are.”
if you uploaded on places like INDEED, or another job site, they probably got it from a 3rd party recruiter,.
any military or military complex job. i refuse to assist or partake in the murdering of humans.
Don’t forget the fiscal, environmental, and resource destruction. Now if they only made cool camping/ outdoor gear…
assist or partake in the murdering
Militaries outside of America do a LOT of non-murderous jobs. Sandbag the planet? Search and Recovery? Coordinating aid on the ground? When you’re a force that happens to be armed, it’s a different job. But they still need boots and belts and brass and buttons and berets and boomsticks.
Anything to do with poop!
Literally what kept me from going into medicine
Everyone has a price but if we stick to realistic numbers I’d say that working on a clothes store or fast food joint would be the first two that come to mind though most office jobs would apply as well.
Mercenary/ “private military contractor”, ICE agent, prison gaurd
Nursing.
Couldn’t pay me to go through the hell those people witness
Me ex-wife worked 100% in surgery. She used to laugh that she never had to talk to the fuckers. She was so clinical about it that she could tell me about a case and had no idea if it was a man or woman, black or white, nothing, just body parts.
I once interviewed at a bulk email (spam) company because i was desperate for a job. They realized how uncomfortable i was so didn’t offer it, but i like to think I would have declined, regardless how much i needed the job.
ICE agent.
Unless you are very good at causing internal disruptions, sabotage and slow downs.
Same. Although mainly because I don’t have the cool maintain my cover while undermining the organization from within.
I’d end up with assault/murder charges, for tasing/shooting one of the bulldogs.
But, what about your monthly “nut”?
I’ll stick with growing weed and building computers. Less blood on my hands there.
Was just a silly reference to the last South Park episode.
What if they paid you enough to bankroll a political campaign for the opposition?
A) they wouldn’t. B) I’d still end up in jail for attacking another agent.
