Would you work for a corporation that you oppose ideologically, if the pay is good?

  • Glad to hear its not universal.

  • No experience I've had in the corporate world has been as bad as what I saw everywhere in the non-profit world.

    Not saying that for-profit companies don't have these problems, not at all, but not to the same extent.

  • That must be location-dependant. I worked for a non-profit for nearly 5 years, a good sized one. The pay was significantly below the for-profit sector, and the organisation was pretty toxic to boot. I have many friends who did similar, and my assessment is that mine was probably the best experience. Burnout is the norm. Toxic culture is the norm. Underpay is the norm. It's not an experience I'd be excited to repeat.

    • Any Books like The Martian by Andy Weir

  • It's a really fun audiobook, if that's your thing!

    • Who are some of your favorite non-recurring Star Trek characters (2 episodes or less per series)?

  • Hopefully I've sorted it now!

  • Don't know if he's my absolute favourite, but I love Timicin from TNG's S04E22 "Half a Life". He's a good, dedicated and kind man who would have been a great long-term partner for Lwaxana Troy, but for the fact that he is about to commit ritual suicide as he's about to turn 60 as a part of a culturally enforced practice called The Resolution.

    Played by David Ogden Stiers, he has great chemistry with Majel Barrett, and their relationship is a believable one. He's a man torn between challenging his society for the chance to keep living in order to save it (he's the lead scientist trying to stabilise their sun) while finding love with Lwaxana, and not rocking the boat and simply doing what's expected of him.

    And of course, in the end, >!he chooses to die!<.

    • Final StarTrek Canvas space

  • I started the Irish flag that ended up running to intersect the Enterprise. I would never have had it erase the 1701, and tried to move the flag up!

    Still, I did learn about this place on the back of it.... Happy to be aboard!
