Working for a rightwing political campaign. Working for a religious org.
Pro-life advocate. There are a lot of jobs I find distasteful or morally grey but I’d refuse to work if the thing I did entirely opposed my ethical stance.
Anything to do with health insurance in the USA. I don’t want blood on my hands through denying people necessary medical care.
President of Senegal. not being Senegalese, nor having ever been to Senegal, I doubt I would be eligible no matter how much they offered to pay me
Debt collection.
Or anything related. I filled a gap between careers doing tech support for a local (Canadian) software company that made a database for collectors (primarily in the USA). Never again, the industry or ancillary to it.
I once took a job where we essentially repossessed trap houses from the inhabitants - even if they had once been legal tenants. I soon started feeling much better when neighbours cheered us on and brought cups of tea. I later discovered my boss was notorious in the industry for going after scum rather than debtors. That job might have been the closest I’ve ever got to public service. But as for everything else you say, I couldn’t agree more. Debt collection against individuals is a disgusting, exploitative and inherently corrupt business.
Anything related to plumbing or sewage.
I already don’t like dealing with other people’s shit, I’d hate it if I had to do it literally.
Anything medical. Humanity is gross and there’s too much on the line.
Lawyer. It’s like doing homework for a living.
I never understood the point of lawyers. Their job is to literally throw off the court in the process of determining the truth and choosing punishment for crime. For everyone else this would be another crime called “obstruction of justice”, and yet for lawyers it’s their actual job that courts allow.
Lol? The fuck are you talking about?
You have never been in any actual court room have you? Or met any police officer or prosecutor for that matter.
Yeah sure, let’s not give anybody the ability to defend themselves, sounds like a great idea!
Their job is to represent their clients interest and make sure they get a fair trial. There’s nothing wrong with that. In fact, it is one of the most important jobs for a justice system. I for one do not want to be charged for a crime I did not commit, and a good lawyer will turn that charge to shreds.
Of course they sometimes seem like the bad guys when defending rough criminals but those have the right to a correct and fair process too.
(Health) Insurance agent. Too unethical.
I’m a teacher in Flroida and definitely not being paid enough to do it.
Anything that involves dealing with children!
Daycare provider. They’re saints, and I doubt I could last a single day.
Chicken slaughterhouse tech
That’s a kids before/during/after school job, it isn’t for adults anymore.
Tell that to all the people working at Sanderson Farms poultry processor
Beekeeping. I appreciate and respect the little guys, but I can’t overcome the panic when a loud buzzy thing with a knife on its ass comes near me.
Australian native bees can’t sting, do a great job of pollinating, and make a little honey on the side. They’re very curious from experience with a swarm making a home on my water meter box, but not very scary.
Checks notes on Australia I don’t believe you.
J/K
I’ve worked as a consultant for 15 years, so I’ve worked with a lot of companies. There have been two companies I refused to work for. A payday loan company and one of those places that runs stand alone ERs.
