It's a shame these large companies are are driven to extract as much value from their workers as possible.

Oh, I dunno, maybe a company that doesn't exploit and abuse its workers.

It's common for companies that want to exploit employees and not reward them for their contributions.

Support companies that care for their employees. Turn your back to those that exploit.I think it's called capitalism.

Asks workers to fall behind the companies they work for. Of course.

Hell to companies who treat their employees like assets!

When you work for a giant corporation of any sort, you are inherently breaking capitalism as it is.There's no foreseeable way around this , it's irresponsible, and all the suffering you're seeing it the world is the cost of many many millions of people giving themselves a pass on this.I strongly urge you to recognize that any of the life benefits you get from working at one of these places are reaped from the lives of others.

Sounds like your company cares more about their bottom line than your well being.

Maybe companies shouldn’t exist if they have to go to these lengths to thwart their employees.

It's dishonest to pretend companies aren't perfectly happy to make their employees live a wretched existence as long as profits are brought in.. and that is a fundamental issue of the labor movement.
