  If you work for a company, you’re a representative of that company.

  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.

        Last I checked we sell our labor power, not our entirety of our existence.

        Ppl seem to rly want slavery modes of labor back again. Sad

        I’m sorry that the facts don’t fit your narrative. It must be frustrating.

      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.
