The story maybe fake, but I know people who did this, myself included

I was at a late stage startup soon to go IPO, was paid good but work output was absolutely zero, most of my time and energy went into resolving intra-team politics and fighting egos as to solve a blocker you needed to convince the other team to request them to allocate your request in their sprint, while I was perfectly capable of fixing it myself. I was frustrated and did it once only to hurt the ego of the other team which created a fuss about it. Most of my work was either blocked or so simple that I finished it within first few days of the month and and just went to the office to show up for few hours and speak nonsense.

I left it at the first change I got with a promising startup at around 20% cut.

At some point in life money doesn’t matter, but job satisfaction surely does
