    Legitimately grappling with this now in the chemical industry. I don’t work directly with petrochem, but my salary is essentially subsidised by plastics manufacturing, including cracker technology. Can I somehow move the needle toward better technologies in a fundamentally conservative sunk-cost asset-based industry? Or, am I better off quitting, trying to find a new job while being legally barred from talking about work-related accomplishments, and hoping the whole thing somehow goes under on its own? It keeps me up at night.
