Are there any companies that you would consider it unethical to work for?

[Joe Shlabotnik]

2. As someone who is currently unemployed also, ethics are important to me.

A few weeks ago a friend suggested that I put my ethics aside, and take whatever I could find. I was a little insulted by his 'beggars can't be choosers' attitude. I don't consider my values any less relevant because I'm unemployed. In all fairness, I know that there are certain companies, or types of jobs that I could probably get hired for, but I simply could not perform at. For instance, I could not fathom working someplace that grinds people for money (ie any type of collections), or pushes products and services that people don't need, can't afford, are disingenuous or harmful to the greater good. Too many of us 99%'rs get forced into work out of necessity, even when the job involves preying on other 99%'rs.
