As some who has been a lowly employee of this company. The type of things people say, especially officials, where they openly get off on selling weapons of war… Just horrific. I have know some comrades there but the level of unreasonably homicidal rhetoric is at an all time high… Ughhhh
Is this productive? I genuinely can’t tell if you’re being curious or antagonistic.
Seems like a valid question to me. It’s good to grow and learn, but I’m also curious why anyone would decide to go work for these war mongers in the first place.
I had a friend who did it too. Sometimes a job is a job, and I won’t clutch pearls over it. Not all of us have the good fortune to be able to be that selective about our employers. In a perfect world, yes sure.
The difference is whether you find something else as soon as possible or you actively make a career out of it. This woman is definitely in the second camp. Also I would look at a janitor there a lot differently than an engineer that was actively designing weapons.
It actually is surprising how much the industry can end up growing doubt into the illusion they brainwash you with. I had my awakening while working there. Yeah a job is a job and with a family their livelihood comes before my pride. But there is a union, so worker solidarity and spreading awareness when applicable can help bridge the gap.
Sorry for late response. I’m still working on my education now actually, I worked as only a electronic assembler I was never there for a career, just needed money. In fact quite a lot of people get there education and leave there due to the nature of the work making a sizeable portion of people uneasy. My sympathies for anyone who has to swallow their morals or pride and just get the job done for the paycheck, all while hoping for better days
