That’s a pretty cynical view. In essence, what you’re saying is “all the things you care about are not things I care about and/or actually despise.”

And that’s OK - you don’t have to work at Amazon! But the implication is that the OP has the “wool over their eyes,” so to speak, and I think that’s unfair. They’re allowed to love their job and find it impactful, even if you don’t. :)

It’s possible I misread this somehow, so if that’s the case, apologies in advance.

It's not cynical to point out external costs, the alternative is to take corporate propaganda at face value without ever questioning if things are right or not.

GP isn't arguing for subjective preference but objective value. People are of course allowed to find their work impactful. Doesn't mean it actually is.
