I'm indeed exaggerating to make a point, and I agree with you that most of the employees jut want to live their lives. The homeless example was probably ill-chosen as well. That being said, where as you said most of the companies have those type of feel-good values, it is well known that it is only corporate-level marketing talk, and I would challenge you to find employees of let's say GE or Walmart really believing any of those. But from the big tech companies (and yes mostly google), I'm still amazed to meet employees that genuinely believe those feel-good values are actually REAL. It shocks me even more that those employees are usually ultra-educated engineers. There is something deeply sad and hypocrite to claim living by those values ("make the world a better place"), but then having a lifestyle that puts them in the top 1% and look up at the rest of the country for not doing the right thing. Now as you said, it is not all of them (not even the majority), but there is definitely a trend that cannot be ignored.
