You’re right, it isn’t—but often, in the corporate environment, you wind up in a situation where your previous employer’s reputation taints your resume, and thus the only kinds of jobs you can get are ones with equally abusive relationships.
Also, sometimes you can flip a coin 10 times and come up 9 heads. It may not mean that the coin is stacked, but try convincing the amygdala of that.
There aren’t very many viable startups in Oildale, CA, and the Bay Area was always too expensive to break into. Most of the startups I participated in in Arizona were run by egomaniac scam-artists, and my own ego issues prevented me from just taking my paycheck and going home when there was actual work to be done. So, yeah. Fully disillusioned.

Yeah, the corporate environment should be avoided at all cost. Startups FTW.
