[SCP] Why would ANYONE work at the foundation?

I mean, it's literally the most dangerous thing you can work with, period. People meet fates worse than death so often that simply dying seems merciful. What kind of payment or motivation drives the staff?

Prometheus labs collapsed in an orgy of unsafe crosstesting and Apeture-science-level poorly concieved ideas. The Chaos Insurgency flies blind, with their cells ping-ponging off each other on suicide missions ascribed by poorly understood, possibly non-existent higher-ups. The GOC routinely gets into literal wars with supernatural forces. Fucking up at Marshall, Carter and Dark can get you turned into a blood-bag that the higher-ups will use to extend their life. And good things rarely happen to people caught up in the Sarkicists, the Mekhanites or the Fifthists.

 The Foundation is, in all honesty, a reasonably safe environment if you want to be on the cutting edge of research and development, in that it's at least nominally run by humans in service of human interests, with a strong culture of workplace safety and cautious, trial-and-error based analysis. If you've become aware of the anomalous world, and you want to throw in with any faction, I'd argue that the foundation is the least likely to get you killed as a matter of course.
