Companies that use the Microsoft suite of products. All of the reprehensible stuff that Microsoft is known for aside, I just can't think of anything that Teams, Office, Outlook, etc do well compared to any of their competitors.

Then there's the little quirks that make you wonder how they're considered a tech giant at all. Example: I travel semi frequently and will work my usual hours in different timezones. Teams makes you restart the app on MacOS just to change fucking timezones.

This just happened to me this week. It was definitely not something I would have expected. I'm really disappointed we had to migrate onto Teams.

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. and jobs not offering benefits, or referrals/LOR for for certain industries or fields. it probably depend your morals and your personality too.

Anything food service. I am NOT to be trusted with food.

[–] Ryanmiller70@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Anything public facing or anything that has me carrying around a gun. Both are absolute no-gos in my mind.

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.

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.

[–] blarghly@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] bus_factor@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] blarghly@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

If we cared about the real world, we'd be actually doing something, rather than just talking.

Anything that makes the world a worse place, eg. most finance jobs.
