      I wonder how many of those people have a choice. The job market might not afford people with their credentials many options for decent enough pay to sustain a dignified livelihood.

      Some may be callous, some may actively think that what the company is doing is good and right, but I don’t think generalising such sentiments over all employees is fair. The system is fucked; don’t blame the victims.

      (Of course, you’d need a kind of social safety net to catch the employees if you want to dismantle the company. Just destroying the old without preparing the new would be counterproductive.)

        Maybe 15 years ago that was true. Now, fuck them, they know what they are working for. If they want redemption they can quit and join open source communities.

            These jobs are some of the most high paying in the country, these people aren’t starving, they are upper middle class/swells to start with overwhelmingly, not broke, and millionaires.

              Goodness that’s a lot of conclusions about other people, all at once.

          There’s almost no hiring in the software industry compared to some years ago. Applications per role are waaaaay up. Lots of unemployment. Leaving whatever job you’re in might not be so simple when there’s people who depend on you, some of them likely your own children.
