This characterization is inches away from an epiphany.

I think every nihilist has the "epiphany" you're implying.

My point is that any service job/Amazon warehouse/construction job is generally stressful, has unproductive meetings, and callous bosses but this is not my bar for "toxic". I'd raise that a bit higher to apply to Activision, Goldman, etc. where there's a level of malice.

What you are suggesting is "nihilism" would, by people who have not decided to norm bad things, perhaps look a lot more like communalism.
