If you take a paycheck from someone, you're implicitly agreeing to carry out their instructions and their vision for their business. If, over time, you have a moral issue with that vision, the best thing for you and that company is to find work elsewhere that is a better fit for your values. It's unreasonable to agree to work for someone and then proceed to undermine their business because it doesn't align with your particular political beliefs.

This would achieve the same ends as protesting, but in a much more ethical manner. Unethical companies would eventually have a harder time finding qualified workers and would suffer accordingly. What wouldn't be happening, is a bunch of people agreeing to serve a business in exchange for money and then reneging on that agreement while still drawing a paycheck.

This is particularly true for higher skilled workers who have other options.

what makes you so sure?

That's what employment is. Someone has a bunch of stuff they want done, and someone else agrees to do it in exchange for money.

Yes, that's what unemployment means. This has nothing to do with shared values though. I could absolutely work for some company whose values I don't share if they pay me enough.
