  • Working for your enemy

    You are unemployed at the moment and haven't been able to find other jobs so you're almost out of money

    (The following stories are just examples. It could have been anything)

    Let's say the year is 2004 and you hate G. W. Bush, but you're offered a job in his election campaign (let's just imagine this is what you do for living), would you take it? You know you can't just do a crappy job, because then they'll just fire you. You also know you wont get secret information that can be used against Bush. This means that the only thing your job does is to help Bush, you wont gain anything from it (except for a paycheck of course)

    Or maybe you're offered a job as a bartender at some SM club, but you hate SM and believes it should be banned. The same thing here goes for the above: The only thing you gain from this work is your paycheck


    As mentioned above, this could be anything you're against... but would you take a job working for you "enemy"?

      Because he really needs the money? Most hookers don't really like their job either, you know.
      Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?

        As alva said: You're in need of cash

        Also note that you like the kind of job you're offered, it's just that you don't like who you're helping with it

        Kinda like that some people have decided not to buy games where there is an EA logo is on. The game might be great, but they would hate to support EA

          Do the job while looking for something different?

            That could be an option. But what if you have worked at that specific company for some time without finding a better job?


            It's not like I'm in that situation. Ok, I don't have a job, but being unemployed gives me about the same money as when I was in school, so I'm used to not having much cash... And there's not many companies where I live who I hate

                  They are pretty much against everything I stand for. It'd be terrible for my health. Every day I'd come home feeling incredibly angry and filthy and used. Like a whore.

                        Depends on the "enemy."

                        Is the person an enemy because I loathe what he stands for? Is the person an enemy because he beat me up when I was a kid? Is the person an enemy because he wronged a friend of mine?

                          I would take the job- just to sabotage the enemy- I would pass along information to the other campaign like crazy, and if caught and I lost my job, I would go on the talk circuit and make some money that way, then try to get a book deal about the whole thing.
