"They paid me $400k a year when similar companies for similar positions paid me $320k" is a very different story.

$80k a year is still a big raise even from $320k. But the bigger issue is that in most cases it wouldn't be easy to establish high confidence that the company offering the $320k salary is significantly less bad for the world than Facebook is (for whatever one's own definitions may be for "bad").

Those guards can have their cake and eat it too: help smuggle drugs into the prison, charge a premium handling fee.

Software devs, on average, have many more choices for where to work than prison guards do.
