Tech Jobs in Israel
First off, it's been a while since I've posted because I was on vacation. It was great, thanks for asking!
I planned on not commenting a lot on the current situation in Israel/Lebanon, however I found this article and found it very interesting. According to the article, Intel and other companies in Israel have their employees working from inside bomb shelters. My first reaction is of course anger and frustration. What kind of whip yielding taskmaster forces people to work while their families are home dodging rockets?
I still lean mostly that way, but I feel slightly less extreme about for a few reasons. For one, by keeping employees in bomb shelters they are keeping them safe. No, I don't think they are putting up the families in bomb shelters, nor do I think they are keeping them in shelters overnight.
After 9/11, there was a lot of talk about not letting terrorism change our lives; that if we fear day to day life, we are in some ways allowing the terrorists to win. Given that Israel is so often the target of terrorism, maybe they should attempt to maintain their daily lives as much as possible.
Despite those last two paragraphs, if bombs ever started going off where I worked, I wouldn't work in a bomb shelter.
