Would You Quit Over Patents?

PatentThis asks: "Like a large part of the Slashdot community, I have a problem with software patents. However, I work at a company where they are the norm, and are a major indicator of our performance. So far (over the past 18 months), I've managed to avoid patent work, but that will probably have to change this year. It's an otherwise great job, and I don't look forward to going back on the job market. Do you feel strongly enough about the patent war to give up your job? Should I try to obtain Conscientious Objector status?"

"I've managed to avoid patent work, but that will probably have to change this year."

"I don't look forward to going back on the job market."

"Should I try to obtain Conscientious Objector status?"

Conscientious Objector is for military service. It doesn't sound like it applies. You sound like you think that you can avoid jail time with a small card that says "Get out of jail free" you got from a board game.

And stop being lazy and a coward, either do your job, patents and all, or get out.
