It's interesting how people I know wouldn't work for my small startup if I, as the boss, aligned myself with such people, but are happy to work for big tech companies that do that. It's amazing what 100 levels of abstraction and money can make you do.

I'd say it's more like the Don Draper line "that's what the money is for", but yes ultimately it's a transaction, and rarely are people doing anything at an individual level professionally that would be worth stopping because of a vague sense of guilt by distant association.

If the connection is closer and the actions you take issue with are clearly impacted by your association with them, then there may be no amount of money that's worth it.

Right. A subterranean fortress in NZ is not part of the perks.
