  If you work for a company, you’re a representative of that company. If you disagree with the businesses they work with, don’t work for that company.

  Or if you really have a problem and want to express yourself, don’t do it at your workplace. It’s stupid.

    I’m not. Corporate is paying for my work (and barely, at that, given current rates), not for my ethics or for my ethical standing before other people who might not work at the company. If you believe otherwise, you might have been brainwashed by corporate-paid education.

      It’s literally how employment works. Unless you’re self-employed, you represent the people who pay you.

        They didn’t even hand me a uniform or a qt cap, and they work with Node.js despite several warnings; I ain’t representing shit.
