It sucks when you feel like you're underappreciated, and you just want to shake some sense into your supervisor. In an ideal world, you could talk to upper management, but real life isn't like that. And you're absolutely right, compromising your ethics isn't the way to go.
On the plus side, it's kind of freeing knowing that almost ANYTHING ELSE is preferable; you won't have to stay up at night wondering if you're making the right decision when a job offer comes your way.
P.S. If it's any consolation, tech isn't the only field with crappy management...
My co workers have been able to find better paying jobs with better companies. I wont pretend i've been looking cause I haven't, I have had a few offers i needed to turn down but you are correct very much open to not staying here past the end of this year.
