A few months ago I was in the job market and got a call from a recruiter at Amazon. I flatly told them that I wasn't interested in working for Amazon on ethical grounds.

At the time it was purely out of principle, but apparently it was a good decision for my self-interest as well.

I wonder how long they can keep this stuff up before they start seriously damaging their desirability as a workplace, the way Facebook has?

Props to you.

I am incredibly far away from the world of SV/FAANG, so tell me, is FB really becoming a less desirable place to work? It seems to me like it's a pretty small minority of people that would refuse a $1XX,000 paycheck on grounds of being a ethically dubious snowflake in the avalanche that is Facebook.

I think the effect is small, but real. If nothing else it gives the comparable FAANGs an edge. That said I'm not in The Valley and don't know anybody who works at a FAANG.
