Because they’re paid well. Very well. Everyone I know that works at FB for 2+ years is making 300-500k (including stock) and already owns or is on their way to purchasing a home. That makes it a lot easier to ignore the reality of FB. Meanwhile chumps like me that consider the ethics of their employer will be renting forever. I honestly don’t blame them.

- sah2ed 9y agoIt's a cognitive bias that kicks in when your monthly salary is involved, as succinctly noted in 1935 by Upton Sinclair: "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it!"
- softawre 9y ago> already owns or is on their way to purchasing a home This is insane. I get why some people want to live in the bay area, but I'll take my 4k square feet home in the great neighboorhood with the award winning schools for 300k.
