It's hard to make a full judgment without knowing more details but "the pay is good and it's easy" isn't really a compelling justification for "and I help evil manifest in the world".

    Again I would like to avoid poverty in a market where I am very unlikely to get a "non-evil" job. I don't want to keep trying to justify my position as I have already made myself a pariah. so I will just leave this here and encourage people in similar positions to read it. https://www.cia.gov/static/5c875f3ec660e092cf893f60b4a288df/SimpleSabotage.pdf

    But are you doing any of that to your big evil company? Or is it easier to be a good worker and not risk getting fired?

    You're asking someone who may literally work at a surveillance company to publicly admit to the stuff they linked? Personally I think it was a bad idea for them to post that link or even suggest they know it exists.
