They also leave the milisecond they can which means the company constantly has to find replacements and retrain them. Lots of resources wasted just to abuse people rather than maximize profit by treating people better.

Yeah well they have degrees or something that says it’s a good idea for profits or whatever and damn the consequences, so checkmate, prole.

This is true. I once had a boss with an MBA. I am highly skilled, had a decade under my belt at the company. She once almost laid me off one year because her and another middle manager thought I didn't "fit with the team" any more.

Turns out I was just going through a divorce, was deeply depressed, and simply getting shit done and going home.

She knew but that MBA mentality just saw that I wasn't joining extra calls, putting in extra hours, volunteering to manage projects, etc. It wasn't even about department or company performance, we were in some of our best years ever. I discovered this years later after she was laid off, probably under similar circumstances. Fuck MBAs.

I find it awful how quickly extra work becomes normal, expected, minimum work.

Meaning they don't have to worry about increasing wages or providing benefits for people who work there for longer.

I think part of the idea here is that people with options wouldn't accept such an abusive schedule in the first place.
