why is this so normalized? every time some guy who knowingly does evil things and comes up and say that their work was evil like and now everyone should praise them… removed STFU, you aren't revealing anything that's not public knowledge.

"I spied on billions of people, I would avoid my ex company"

"I previously worked at amazon and made millions, now you should avoid it"

"I got rich by exploiting you, now that i'm out and doing other things, avoid my last company"

"I worked at and oversaw pushing violent narratives in developing countries, I wouldn't touch it with a 10 feet pole"

No Shit Sherlock!!

I worked in a non-decision making ITS adjacent capacity between banks and lawyers during the 2008 downturn. I knew full well our company was contracting with awful banks but I got the job while unemployed for several months when there wasn't any jobs. People don't always have a realistic choice in the matter, I was poor and it was entry level $35k cubicle gruntwork. Nothing I did couldn't be replaced by any idiot with basic MS office skills in a 10 minute interview. Me taking the high road would have just fucked up my life for no reason. I left as soon as the job market recovered.

Anyway, I pulled all of my money out of Wells Fargo and tell anyone who will listen to do the same, out of the 30 big banks we worked with they were leaps and bounds more willfully incompetent then all of the others combined. I don't claim to be a good person, I just do what I do like anyone else, I think you're looking at this situation far to ideologically. In corrupt systems we are all complicit on all ends, there is no moral high ground other than starving to death and refusing the system entirely which is nonsense. Nearly all corporations are actively doing evil and a large portion of non-profits are only marginally better.

Just a friendly reminder to everyone that Wells Fargo is a criminal enterprise masquerading as a bank. You have been warned.

Well the OP isn't saying they got rich off of it. Lots of people just need jobs.

"I used to work for the cartel, now I make covers for Lipps inc., avoid the cartel btw."

Things like this just screams "I'm one of the good guys now" and probably "check my new book/course/patreon/podcast/tweets to read more about shitty things I did."

money in, money out
