I don't believe they pay top of market, but even if they did, it's possible to make a lot of money and still feel bad when you have a sense of ownership and responsibility to the users of your service.
The comment I responded to said they felt bad for GH employees. I was saying I don't feel all that bad given they are well-compensated white collar workers (like many of us here).
Life is pretty good if one's biggest concern is work stuff and you're not personally in danger or actively being harmed. That's all I'm saying.
