According to the internet, some jobs are “undeniably evil.”
In one Reddit thread that poses the question, people shared their opinions on what the most immoral or corrupt jobs are, and I’m curious about what you think of these.
Ahead, I’ve rounded up 23 different answers.
1.
“Tobacco lobbyist. They lied back in the day, saying there was no proof it was bad, they used their power to block regulation, and they keep lying to this day. They’ve killed an immense number of people all for a paycheck.”
4.
“Those who work for scam phone lines.”
5.
“Those people who stream themselves gambling online and make it look like tons of fun and an easy way to make money.”
6.
“Pharmacy Benefits Managers. They are billionaire third-party paper pushers that provide no health services and no insurance, but interfere with patients’ abilities to access services and for insurance to cover what they ought to.”
8.
“Those engineers at TikTok and Google who maximize children’s addictions to their apps.”
12.
“Casino owners. Not the people who work for the house, but the people who own it. (As told by a casino employee.)”
17.
“Purdue Pharma. They lied and said OxyContin wasn’t addictive. It was, and this cost people their lives. It caused the opioid epidemic.”
18.
“People who run kids’ beauty pageants. I’m sorry, any parent or adult involved in those doesn’t deserve to be around kids.”
20.
“The people employed by baby formula manufacturers to lobby the government to eliminate or shorten maternity leave requirements, forcing new moms back to work earlier so they have no choice but to feed their babies formula instead of breastfeeding.”
21.
And finally, “I don’t think there’s a profession that’s inherently evil, at least not a legal one, but there are certainly professions that attract a lot of inherently evil people. Police, politicians, lawyers, stock brokers, and priests, just to name a few.”
Do you feel strongly about certain jobs and think they belong on this list? Let me know in the comments!
