You're absolutely totally right. Would I still work, I'd be ashamed if I had to say "I work at google". Since they removed "don't be evil" as their motto, that is.

But you also explained it...we all get brainwashed. From indoctrination to outright brainwashing. Daily, every where. And if you dare to question something, you're suddenly alone. One sane in a herd of insane? Must be me,they can't ALL be wrong,right?...RIGHT?

Tiny story: when I still worked, one job was at a very highly deemed top association that stood for curing cancer. Or helping people with it, or doing studies, paying studies, you name it. Sounded awesome. I was admin and had access to everything. I quit 6 months later, I couldn't take it anymore.

-a whole floor with lawyers to legally fuck people out of their money and to fend of incoming.

-another floor full of marketing people who did nothing else than quench old (or dying of cancer) people for their inheritance.

-the cellar was full of hundreds of millions worth of inherited stuff, paintings and shit.

-the bosses drove 250k cars, flew multiple times a month to "meetings" (which meant at least 1000 each for food alone, coz it had to be fancy).

-oh right the building was just recently bought, because it was soooo fancy and in front of a large river here (in our small country it's like US's central park). It was an 8 figure move. Totally unneeded.

And the yearly spending for curing cancer? 5%. Still a large sum, but it was just an alibi for everything else. And it was probably THE most reputable association here. Last day I ever donated anything. I understand that overhead is needed. But it should be, by definition, kept to a minimum.i wanted to work there for the cause, not to get moneyz.
