Agreed. The reason people put up with soul crushing jobs like investment banking is because the compensation makes up for it. Granted, most people in those kind of jobs burn out after a few years, but you anticipate that when taking the job. I have several friends doing the "make tons of cash while young, move to easier job in 5 years" career choice.
Corporate America IT jobs have all the soul crushing without the reward.

There's a lot of mildly desperate people who really forced their way up into unstable career positions, and natural genocidal tendencies peek out every now and then. It's innate human behavior. History's purges were not by accident.
