You can and should choose your employers. Saying you have no alternatives is disingenious. It's possible (and often worth it) to trade a big salary for meaning.

My employer significantly underpays us compared to the market, we could be (and many had been) earning multiple times more elsewhere, and yet we're happy to work there: we get reimbursed by meaningful work in a relaxed atmosphere.

> You can and should choose your employers.

In theory yes, but lots and lots of people will tell you how hard it is to switch jobs in real life, especially with personal circumstances.

A very simple example -- depending on your location, there can be very few employers you can choose from. Relocatiob is a major life decision.

Just talk to a few people, and that should be obvious.

Regarding the point in GP -- you can bet that most Meta employees don't believe in the company's vision, and they are just there for the (very good) paycheck. They are likely employable but choose not to.

That's fortunate for you that what you enjoy doing and get meaning from is capable of providing you a living via market income. That's not true of many others. I try to make time for what I enjoy doing and get meaning from. But for me as for many, it does not provide income.
