Definitionally. I doubt spite is a major factor, but the management is almost certainly intentionally indifferent.

Economics doesn't care about the morale of the workers in this context as it contributes nothing to the bottom line.

I'm in agreement, inasmuch as I hope management cares little for anything they believe doesn't touch the bottom line.

Would you prefer if management cared more about that, instead of the bottom line?
