How much does your company pay IC8 or equivalent per year? $2M liquid? $3M? Hard for anyone to feel moral qualms when they’re earning generational wealth.

Plenty of people in our democracy choose to work in noble professions that don’t pay well but are the bedrock for society.

Excusing people’s ethics because of money makes it worse not better IMO. Especially in the context of tech where there are plenty of well paying jobs that don’t make money through increased misery.
