Has anyone else worked for an incredibly unethical company and felt bad everyday about how they're screwing their "clients" over?

I work as a freight broker and I feel guilty everyday.

all business is unethical
you can't profit without fucking people over

Why is fucking people over necessary? I thought business was suppose to be a fair exchange with transparency, that's like saying that a car mechanic who makes things up wrong with your car to scam you out of money is the same as another business without an asymmetry of information.

The stock market is a zero sum game, look up the definition.

In order for someone to profit, another will lose. This is the very nature of stock trading.

That's specifically trading, not investing in general.

Wall Street is house and house always wins eventually. However, by holding your assets and allowing them to compound over time you can become fairly profitable in your investments. Just don't be impatient.

Easy solution: Don't buy random penny stocks and diversify your stocks across various sectors and geographical regions.

If you're actually buying stocks based on physical mail coming to you or email spam then yeah that will happen

Some would argue that there's more risk in not investing in the first place. The market is full of rising and falling waters. Of course investors can't accurately predict the market 100% of the time nor should you try. Outperformance is the goal; in bullish and bearish times. You're entitled to your opinion but I strongly disagree that all investors are victims to the market. I settle that dumb investors are victims to the market in the long run.

>How would drop shippers drop their shits?
made me lol

With that being said, I dont really get why orders made 20+ days ago are still stuck in singapore, but customers of mine that ordered 10-15 days ago are already receiving their shit. Fucking chinks, man. At least most people are pretty cool with delayed shipping times right now.

Although one karen threatened to report me to the BBB 3 days after placing her order for some reason, so I cancelled it, sent her money back then blacklisted her ip from being able to access my site. She got more mad because of this (lol), and then asked me when the order was going to arrive saying "your shitty website wont load". I said I cancelled the order and it won't be shipped out, but she somehow still thinks she's entitled to her item even though I've refunded her money (???). Said that I can't treat people like this and the customer is always right
