Turned down a job offer today from the dark side.
Im about to be unemployed and I have been looking for a new job. This one got dropped in my lap by a friend. Anyway when I found out who the main "client" was I declined. I couldnt bring my self to do it.

It was an INTERNET thing I could have really screwed them. I thought about it but with ASS-croft I really didn't wanna spend any time in git-mo if you get my drift.

5. I doff my fedora in your honor
:toast:

I actually worked for the Dark Side here in San Diego once. Set up some machines before the RNC convention at the SD Convention Center.

Their headquarters was Room 101. I had SUCH an opportunity to install spyware on their systems but didn't want to risk prison for it.

6. Was that microsloth or BFEE as the dark side client?
I couldn't work for Halliburton either (among others)

You did the right thing DK666, something better will come along. We have to keep up the faith.

7. Ethics are costly.
I am the last one to say that you should reconsider (I have both quit and turned down jobs because of ethics, even when unemployed), but do keep in mind that being unemployed you are at a great disadvantage looking for work.

I congratulate you on your difficult stand, but I would not think less of you if you changed your mind.

Survival is the iron rule of the species.

Best wishes and good luck!

8. You made a good decision
If for no other reason, no one else on our side of the aisle would ever hire you if you played for the other team.
