Something I haven’t seen talked about is the purported diverse values of these companies in hiring developers. Zuck breaks rules for conservatives and breaks bread with Shapiro, giving tacit approval to the idea that LGBT pride sucks as much as The Daily Caller’s corespondents think it does. How does it feel to be a gay Facebook employee? Does that bother them as much as I feel like it should? In any case, the juxtaposition is amusing in a sort of exhausting way
At the very least, it should make you suspicious of corporate pride stuff. I mean, it's cool that "people who support LGBT folks" is an advertising demographic nowadays, but it'd be nice if that meant material changes rather than companies just trying to make a buck off people being gay.
The problem is that our current world really makes you pick your battles on this one. I understand why it would suck to be a gay Facebook employee, for example, but why is that your fight versus, say, labor conditions in chip manufacturing plants? The point isn't that one matters more than the other necessarily, it's that we only have so many hours in the day, and we have to just ignore some problems sometimes.
No worries, and God knows I understand the frustration. And to be clear, my point wasn't that such frustration would be wrong, I was just positing a good reason why someone may be in the situation you describe and not be bent out of shape by the whole thing.
