And good for them. If you have the freedom to follow your virtue, no matter how you gained that freedom, why not follow it?

If it sounds like hypocrisy, why? They gained the freedom from the grind and would have stayed if they believed in what they were doing.

There is some weird psychology going where the most morality posting is from people quitting Google or being unemployed.
Au contraire, Googlers have always been strangely academic brained and stuck in niche moral echo chambers.

This is par for the course.

That’s not really how RSUs work in that situation. The number outstanding and vested each year stays pretty steady.
Yeah what he means is he got enough money over a decade and then waited until a vest day to decide it was immoral.
Oh, sure. But with monthly vesting it kind of a wash.
Only if you are getting refreshes.
Biting the hand that fed you... on your way out.
