It's been almost a decade since we last asked this question, so Afiaki proposed that we ask it again.

But if you really need the job to make a living...

This week's poll was suggested by Sosseres. Does the reputation of a company matter to you when applying for a job? Or do you just really need the money so you'd apply anywhere no matter what? Maybe you really disagree with Amazon's ethics or Google's reach.

It's gotten better and is part of popular culture now, but there's still misunderstanding

A lot of disdain toward manhua...
