Ethically, if you extend this reasoning, are we not obligated to find a position in the most morally repulsive organization we are aware of, and then coast?


yes, this is called 'effective altruism'


I think there is an implied "given the company you joined turns out to be nonethically aligned"


Yes, that's what I'm addressing with my comment above.

well not coast, the intent is sabotage


Coasting you're already using resources that could be used more effectively.

If you actively slow other people down as well it's even better though.
