> Virtue signalling costs nothing

While that is true, it's still worth pointing out that OP did quit his job, which is more than just virtue signaling.

It turns out that some psychologists have publicly criticized the use of that term as it does belittle people who are actually acting virtuously, in addition to conspicuously posting about it..

Especially in this current economic crisis. Hopefully he finds a better job and contributes to the betterment of society.
