      While I agree with the sentiment…there are workers who are fighting for things like safe working conditions, access to clean water, above poverty wages, etc. …and then there’s Billy Bob here drafting (and subsequently screenshotting and posting for all to see) a temper tantrum because his potential employer uses an operating system he doesn’t like. They’re welcome to turn down an offer for whatever reason (assuming this is even real in the first place), but I’m sorry, this is entitled as fuck.

      Why not turn down an offer because a company is supporting the military industrial complex? Or has ties with black market business? Where are those screenshots? Those would be much more apt reasons for turning down an offer, rather than this shit 😂.

        So he’s not allowed to craft his own morals? Maybe he would turn them down if they supported a corrupt military complex. Your argument sounds like it has an agenda.

        I mean do that too. Honestly tech unions are needed more there. I’ve turned down jobs for the same reason. I’ve had contractors and artists turn down projects I’ve asked about too. Shrug at a certain point you earn some preferences on what work and how you do it beyond what is basic workers rights

      Demanding a Macbook when the place doesn’t use Macbooks is entitlement, not demanding better conditions.
