    You should still apply, though. Because people hate them, they likely need to offer higher salaries to compensate, just like Meta does. You can use these high offers to negotiate a better salary at a more palatable company. Also, it wastes the time of a scumbag company, so win-win.

      Do we really want to put other, ethical companies under strain just because anti-ethical companies have lots of dirty cash pumped into them to pay higher?

        you don’t have to use the leverage unless you need to

        better to be prepared

        I’ve yet to apply to a company that didn’t low ball me on the contract offer

          After a certain level of salary, I’d rather work for an ethical company than get more money. I’d also rather ethical companies don’t collapse.

          So I’d say No.

        In the absence of unionization, the worker should take every opportunity to bolster their position in the employer/employee power imbalance
