Get out! If you don't feel comfortable with CEO, then it will be very hard to feel good about your work.

A while ago, I worked for a consulting company that specialized in e-commerce with fulfillment. Soon I realized that their clients are mostly MultiLayer Marketing companies. MLM is legal but very unethical industry. Our clients referred to their customers as idiots or bored housewives. Some of my coworkers tried to quite their concise by convincing themselves and me that these people are lazy who are trying to get rich quick. So they deserve to lose their money. They would say it is a cheaper than business school.

I tried to tell myself that I am just a worker, just following orders. It was a good job with a lot of benefits but it was very soul crushing. Leaving that job was the best ever thing. My mental health improved the minute I handed my two weeks notice.
