I can't speak to the mood of specific staff at OpenAI but as to the question in general; Hell yeah to the Nth degree.

I'm 60, I've had a long career and have been through two instances of companies falling out at the board level.

I've onboarded at various projects because I cared about the projects and work that'd I would be doing and because I was more or less in line with the direction being taken and the people I worked with and those setting the course.

When the board and C level start having a messy relationship and divorce it matters very much which side of the split I go with or whether I just up stakes and move on elsewhere.

Pay alone isn't worth putting up with dysfunction from above or falling in line with a faction you never especially aligned with.
