Maybe I'm naive, but I'll gladly take small compensation hit in exchange for not hating my job.



In a way, liking the job is part of the compensation package. That's why places like game development and SpaceX can pay little for bad working conditions and still have enough applicants.

It's only really an issue if you get tricked by a facade or indoctrinated into a cult. For companies that are honest the dynamic is perfectly fine


Or a large hit or even work for free for a prestigious job. Magazines and talent agencies were like this.


There is huge gradient between not hating the job and believing in fake mission.
