Just out of curiosity. I have no moral stance on it, if a tool works for you I'm definitely not judging anyone for using it. Do whatever you can to get your work done!

Thanks. This is great insight and tracks with some personal experience or experience of friends.

You could make a whole post about this topic, but I was curious what’s your advice to an employee that wants to do good work, but who doesn’t want to be taken advantage of?

The truth is you have to do good work for yourself because you care about the quality of your work. You work for you.

You separate the factors. You do good work for you because you care because a life doing things you don't care about is less meaningful.

Separately you look at pay. You leave when it's no longer worth staying, which for most people is about every two to three years at least for your early career.
