I know a reasonable number of Facebook employees. Their opinions on the last year range from “don’t care/getting paid” to “everyone does it.”

These are good people. They just don’t care.

I think these two statements contradict each other.

Or maybe people are a lot more complicated than simplistic notions of what makes a good person.
You should edit that to 'These are people who don't care. It's not good.'
Both comments express this sentiment. I’m pretty judgey myself, but I’ve known these people for ten, twenty years. They are good people but even good people have blind spots.
We love labels don't we? No one is purely good or purely bad. Or purely left or purely right, etc.

Like most things, these things are points along a spectrum, not absolutes. Even that is probably too simplistic - points in n dimensional space I guess :)
