If any of these miscreants were looking for a new job I bet the place you work would be getting in line to put them through an interview loop.

I'll take that bet. Of course, you have no idea where I work and I do, so you're not a good gambler. The stench of social companies is noticeable by people that do not have their heads in the sand. Companies that still believe that ex-FAANG are automatically gawds deserve what they get.
That might be an increasingly common view on the shop floor, but how confident are you that it filters up through all levels of your org?
there's 5 people in my company, and we talk daily. want to split 10s since you've already doubled down?

btw, I can add my crypto wallet to my bio so you can pay up if you'd like /s

How much does your company pay IC8 or equivalent per year? $2M liquid? $3M? Hard for anyone to feel moral qualms when they’re earning generational wealth.
Plenty of people in our democracy choose to work in noble professions that don’t pay well but are the bedrock for society.

Excusing people’s ethics because of money makes it worse not better IMO. Especially in the context of tech where there are plenty of well paying jobs that don’t make money through increased misery.

Post-COVID big tech ex-employees aren't really what you would expect a decade ago.
