Of course, and I think everyone has to decide what their line is, their own personal Rubicon and if they have crossed it or not. Those lines can shift too, a company that was okay last year may not be this year. It could be that all of a sudden you find yourself doing things you wouldn't have dreamed of 5 years ago. Maybe it is time to look for a new role. It's completely a personal decision.
The blind "Just quit your jobs" is what annoys me, and doesn't add anything valuable to the conversation.
In my defense, I never said "just quit your job".
I said, start looking for another one. There are other jobs out there. There's nothing that forces you to work for, meta, or google, or alphabet, or whatever the hell they're calling themselves.
If you are working for a company that you find personally immoral and you are bound to them because of financial reasons, then I will stand by the statement that one of the best things that you can do is to find a way out, and one of the best ways to do that is to replace it with a different job so that you do not financially suffer through the transition.
I don't really get how anyone would interpret that as a blind "quit your job".
