The article this responded to resonated more with me. This one doesn't seem to reflect the usual power dynamics I see at companies.
This line in particular stood out:
> "Do you really want to do work that doesn’t make a difference but just makes your leadership happy? I don’t."
I know very few people from my peers who can afford to make that decision. I can count one or two from 20+ people who can choose where they work.
That phrase IMO also carries the assumption that you, rather than the leadership, knows what makes a bigger difference for users. That can very well be the case, but so can the opposite.
