Expand it past this one person and to the entire company: would you employ only people who don't believe in your company? Obviously not. So don't hire one of them because they'll drag the other ones down. People who don't believe in your company are less likely to stay for more than a year and less likely to think long-term about their work. People shouldn't be forced to crunch or be underpaid, but that still doesn't mean they should be complete mercenaries. If you can't staff your company with people who believe in it, you have a different problem, which is: what's wrong with your company and can it be fixed?
