All Googlers say yes.
I say no personally and have been turning down jobs where I despise the company.

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Yeah, probably.
By 'ideologically' opposed you mean you don't like the products/services they provide? Lol
Get the bag, idk what you do but youre likely just a small cog anyways and getting paid less literally means your company is extracting more value from you.
Unless your job is literally producing some sort of hate propaganda (i.e. working for the daily wire) then yea dont do that.
I was part of a group of people who got laid off from a small startup a few months ago. Many of us formed a discord group and have been supporting each other through the job hunt.
One guy who's been at his job for about a week recently said this:
Many people have told me you shouldn't take a job doing something that you love... That's the main lesson I learned from getting laid off
You end up pouring all your energy into it. I wanna do something that I hate, and I'll use that hate and anger to fuel something else 😈
It feels kinda good to look evil right in the face and put on a fake smile and say "yes I will take money from you to do bullshit work"
No, unless:
- I would be tricked into it without the possibility to exit it immediately
- I didn't realize it's not what it claimed to be
- There would be no other way to put food onto a platter (I am ready to perform as an exotic dancer in LGBTQ+ clubs, if need be)
- The corpo in talking would be large, transnational and the problem would concern only some distant part of it, one I wouldn't have any contact with.
But, of course, these scenarios are "once in a lifetime" kind of mental exercise. Nothing more. The answer is "no".
It really depends on the job. I'd probably work for any tech company if the price was right, but I wouldn't work for a right-wing publication or think tank ever.
Depends on how well the pay is and whether there is a healthy stage for me to voice out my opinion on the things and whether they would respect that.
Nope. To be fair I wouldn't look at the sticker price if it was a company of ill repute. I would have to be offered the CEO of that company so I can fix it. Only way.
They cannot be corrupt and amoral in the same time. Please choose :)
For the right money, I'd do most any job regardless of who it's with.
Yes. We will never be able to change the things we want to change unless we first understand them. Also, money.
Hell yeah. This planet is doomed anyway. I already do that earning a cool quarter mil a year. Honestlt couldn't give a shit about the rest of you
