Is my boss right when he is saying "It's not about the money but:
1. the quality of people you work with
2. the work you do is meaningful"?

Personally I work to earn money so I can make a living. Is it the wrong way? Also of course my boss earns at least twice as much as I do.

it's about the combination of that.

Is your boss pic related?

I think we mainly work to earn a living, however if you don't find your job meaningful in anyway and don't like the people you work with, you will burn out way too soon which makes earning a living difficult.

If you have no sense of accomplishment, impact or enjoyment in your job then you will hate it and move the fuck on or kill yourself.

When I say impact, it might not even be a positive one. Some people get a kick out of borderline scamming people, lying, manipulating etc.

I like working at jobs where things advance and change, I see the spoils of my labor. I've worked at places where it's nothing but a revolving door of the same menial tasks over and over, and there were people who worked in a job like that for 15 or 20 years. Shit pay, shit co-workers, shit conditions and they stay for that long. I couldn't fathom doing that for that long. But some are driven by making a living nothing more nothing less. Managers and executives can easily say things like in OP because their situation is different. They get to choose the quality of the people and of course the job is meaningful you're not a grunt turning the wheels.
When highups try to pass this train of thought down to employees it's sort of a flawed effort.
