The person is arguing whether it is good or bad to work for Big Tech. I wouldn't hate the players when you really should hate the game. Most of the populace is largely unaware of surveillance or why they are using products that have a negative influence. Stopping to work for Big Tech does not change this lack of education. Advocating that privacy should be respected or even supporting laws that would regulate large technology companies has been attempted to be implemented by the ACLU and EFF, but it isn’t really practical when you can hire lobbyists for around $1 million dollars, which you can use to get passed nearly anything you want. Also, Big Tech may need fewer people to achieve its goals, so I think this post is too little and too late.
