Maybe I’m just trying to justify my own job, but I think there’s work to be done at a smaller level at any workplace.
Like I work for a large corporation in an evil industry, but I try to influence my coworkers and inspire solidarity. It’s not like their going to unionize or anything and I’m the youngest person on my team so I can only change peoples minds so much but I advocate for myself and my team a lot. I’ve pushed really hard to get us required days off after having to work release nights and I’m very vocal when people are on vacation that I won’t contact them.
I guess it helps that the project I work on is the software our customer service reps use to help customers so it doesn’t feel very evil.
It’s still good and just if you want to go down this path, but I think there are ways you do praxis even working for something stupid or evil. But maybe I’m just being a lib trying to make myself feel better.
