Rules:
Be a decent person.
No racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, zionism/nazism, and so on.

I never defend the companies I've worked for ... that's what their PR departments are for. I don't see why people feel the need for it. I've had friends join MS, Google and such and the way they defend them astound me. I'm just like, why ...?

You must be defending them at least internally if you've been able to justify working there. I live in a van and roam the country committing Robin Hood style crimes 😇

The real American dream

Pfff. Van? I travel by foot, eat vegan but only out of dumpsters, and use a flint and steel to burn down the houses of people who test on animals (after I make sure any pets they live with have been safely evacuated). I also spread wildflower seeds native to whatever region I’m in to boost the pollinators. Suck it petroleum simp! 😘

There's always room for improvement

I think this summer I’m going to forgo wearing the clothes I find scattered alongside the road and start making my own from roadkill. Waste nothing!

Yeah but only enough to draw a salary. I don't see the need to defend overpricing, privacy violations, or every be product or bug or law breaking like my friends.

I worked for investment banks and when they get caught for doing bad things, I usually say "good, we shouldn't be doing that".

Sounds like you're living the real dream though 💪
