I think this is almost expected behavior. Anybody who spends enough time in the trenches of any industry will come out jaded and bitter. In my limited time working on the tech side of some Wall St giants, 99% of the grunts are normal people with their noses in very narrow tasks. Tasks that seem too mundane to have any implications for the outside world. I even heard a top marketing exec at Goldman talk about how to shed their image as a "vampire squid". None of them set out to be evil, they just set out to earn profits. Same everybody else.
