alt Hacker NewsWhat a ridiculous excuse. People who join ICE to brutalize minorities and protestors are just trying to feed their families too, then. No?
Working for Microsoft doesn’t make them bad engineers or bad people, but it does make them Microsoft employees. And they get to bear its reputation whether they want to or not. If it makes them uncomfortable then they should make a change or grow thicker skin.
Oversaturation of the labor supply for software engineers has been looming for a while now. Gen Z was sold on infinite growth in the ZIRP era which was never going to happen, but everyone still jumped in. What we’re seeing is structural unemployment. Not everyone’s gonna make it.

1400 ISIS (the islamist state) terrorists who made their way to the US, identified by the DHS.
Look at the list here. 2084 pages already, 12 entries per page: that's 25 000 criminals. They're listing their crimes. 25 000 criminals already arrested is a huge lot.
Be honest with yourself and think about the victims.
I'd say a lot of the people joining ICE do believe the US has already enough criminals that are US citizens and want to help stop the insanity that is mass uncontrolled migration.
Out of 600 000 people arrested by ICE, as I understand it already 25 000 are violent criminals that we know of. That's more nearly 5% of all those arrested. 1 in 20 people.
Where do you draw the limit? You want full open borders, but at what cost?
I read a lot of "Arrested for: kidnapping, rape".
Is, say, 1 in 100 people coming in being a criminal OK?
Where do you draw the line?
Dems are literally fighting so that sanctuary cities do not hand over convicted criminals to ICE: so that one day they can be released in the streets.
Is this what you want to fight for?
Are you that convinced, from your moral high ground where you judge Microsoft employees and ICE agents, that you'll be on the right side of history?
Do you have kids? If not, I agree with you. Make the hard decision and take a loss. And thank you for your sacrifice.
If you do, I can't agree with you.
Also I wouldn't compare software development for a marketing company with a violent disagreeable effort. There's bad and there's worse, objectively.
Anyway, not saying you're wrong, but I'm not so quick to judge someone by a job that they probably hate.
Or to wrap 100,000 people in the same blanket. We're all individuals. No one should be judged by the actions of others.
