Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

So long as you’re not profiting off the exploitation of people, I don’t think there’s anything inherently wrong with earning enough to live comfortably.
High pay didn’t stop me from walking out of a job that I felt was exploitative and harmful to people, and I don’t think it would to any leftist with conviction.
depends if you have the experience and confidence to get another comparable job. A lot of people are too timid about stuff like that and end up (sometimes rightly sometimes wrongly) feeling that their choice is between destitution and doing a shitty harmful job. Many would still take the leap, but many would be pained by that decision, especially if there was any ambiguity about how harmful the job was.
