At the time it was purely out of principle, but apparently it was a good decision for my self-interest as well.
I wonder how long they can keep this stuff up before they start seriously damaging their desirability as a workplace, the way Facebook has?
I am incredibly far away from the world of SV/FAANG, so tell me, is FB really becoming a less desirable place to work? It seems to me like it's a pretty small minority of people that would refuse a $1XX,000 paycheck on grounds of being a ethically dubious snowflake in the avalanche that is Facebook.
