I used to find such comments funny until I began working for Big Name Corps myself and I realized how much one's personal philosophy could be inconsistent or sometimes even contradictory to the employer's philosophy. I make money by selling my skills to an employer despite inconsistent philosophies. I think it's like a chef that can cook meat for his/her guests although the chef has decided to refrain from consuming meat himself/herself.

It's sort of related to the principal-agent problem ..

Yup. And such a chef probably wouldn't publicly berate people for eating meat, or expect being called out if they did.

Yup. And I don't see anyone berating anybody in this thread. Do you?
