Todays rash of spam got me thinking about paychecks and scruples... have you ever had a j*b that furthered an undertaking, action, individual or business that you found personally reprehensible? Spammers get paid to spam and I wonder how they feel about that.
I'll go first... I had a job once (long ago) running a daycare facility for a chain daycare provider; the kind of place that is a childcare factory. Kids were kept safe and healthy but in classes too large for their own good, cheap food, gravel playgrounds etc. The owners of the facility actually had a helpful booklet on how to avoid being cited by state inspectors and after some time, I finally found other employment.
Have you ever been paid to do something you weren't proud of?
