If you care about democracy, quit your corporate job! Period.

[MineralMan]

No matter how small or large the corporation you work for is, quit your job ASAP. Everyone knows that corporations are corrupting our very society and government. They are the source of all evil, and promote overwhelming capitalism. I don't care about your excuses, like feeding your family, paying off your college debt, or anything else. Quitting your corporate job is the number one thing you should do, and you should do it immediately. I don't want to hear about the good things your company does. It is a corporation, so it is evil because it is a corporation.

If you don't quit, you are culpable by your actions. You are responsible. Corporations brought us Trump and they are going to be an instrument of our destruction. No more feeble, lame despicable excuses! Just quit! Now! Today!

2. I did that

Upon initially graduating with an electrical engineering degree a couple of decades ago, I decided not to work for the many large defense companies that hired most of my classmates, and to pursue a different path.

I work for myself now, and am really glad I made an early decision not to shackle myself to that system. Along the way, I've never had an employer that wasn't an educational institution or a small business.

3. Actually, so did I, in 1974.

I have not had a W-2 job since then. However, my post is satire, and that has nothing to do with it.

4. My life is not satire

I made a very deliberate choice to live it the way I have.

6. This thread, however, is not about you, unless

you want it to be.

7. Satire aside, leaving the corporate world is a good idea. Of course, leaving a job...

...isn't remotely comparable to quitting a particular (and unnecessary) social media platform. People managed to stay in touch with loved ones before social media and certainly can without Facebook.

8. Some don't seem to have any clue what a corporation can encompass.

The number of posters who act as though they believe every corporation is some behemoth with thousands of employees dominating an industry is a bit disturbing.

There are 5.5 million small businesses that are incorporated in the US, including many that are one or a handful of employees under a corporate title for business, liability, and/or tax purposes.

Lumping them all together is silly, yet "we" seem do that rather often. Similarly, holding entry-level employees responsible for the actions of upper management in larger corporations is similarly misguided, yet "we" do that, as well.

Blanket statements are rarely accurate, and the ones that are simply false are not any better coming from our side.

9. Seems like one of those Facebook thread parodies. Not many corp heads meet with and aid Trump.
