Comment on Why I'm Leaving Big Tech

I didn’t mind this article. It highlights a struggle of someone clearly at odds with the betrayal brought on by tech The example of IBM is a good one, and the fool me once concept. And for many they got into tech to bring good change, that got hijacked by the greedy.

What I struggle with is the fact corps gonna make money with that and people have made big money and gone with this, and it’s only after being laid off they are open to the ills of the what has happened.

The bigger question is if you are still willing to support and perpetuate big tech and bad behaviour in other ways. There’s no indication of the viewers nationality but do they have investment funds in tech? are condoning bad practices against minorities? or only the ones that align with their background beliefs. For many in the tech industry introspection is a good practice. It’s easy to say at the end of your career hey I don’t wanna work with them. It’s even easier when you are comfortable.

I suppose it is a start people are openly voicing this.
