Oracle laid off ~13% of its staff to fund a $300B computing deal with OpenAI. Now, a credit downgrade and $7B in required power grid guarantees put the massive project in jeopardy.
Mate, I know people who are having trouble finding jobs at shops, let alone anything that pays enough for an adult with responsibilities to be able to afford to take it.
How many small businesses do you think are hiring these days?
You’re incredibly privileged if you think everyone can just afford to do whatever it is you do that you don’t benefit a single corporation. I assume you’re an artisan who crafts something out of materials you get from your own land or something.
When you’re in a “need a job” situation, of course you take anything you can. If you end up at Oracle you don’t stop looking. You take their money until you find something better.

“Its ok pet. Your kids will be forgive you.”
I suggest you try going and being homeless with your kid so you don’t have to work for any corporation.
They’ll be happier that way, then there’s no forgiveness to seek since you never failed them by working for a corporation.
False dichotomy.
No, it’s exactly the conversation, if you’d recall.
There are innumerable employment options besides shitty employer or bust.
No it’s not, because you’re advocating for people to be unemployed in an increasingly horrible job market.
I’m not advocating for people to be unemployed, you made that up.
Loads of people have jobs that align with their values.
