My previous employer. I still have a lot of respect for them, but do not directly agree with everything they do. Also, I realize that while I would prefer that these things were understood, in a world in which they are not understood, the terminology has some marketing privileges.
80,000 Hours does go far beyond the phrase, as I mentioned in the end. They use it as marketing terminology and follow it up with a pretty specific philosophy. Most groups that use this phrase don’t do that.
80,000 Hours (your employer?) has the following as its web page title:
“How to make a difference with your career”
and writes on the front page
“If you want to make the world a better place…”
To me, those are synonyms to “changing the world,” for the purpose of career description.
