I've worked a bunch of minimum wage retail jobs and all the grunts mock the daily "walmart chant." At high status jobs people apparently really buy the "my employer is who I am" thing.

Soldiers in military often have a hard time adjusting to the freedom of civilian life, and it seems that structure is there out of institutional necessity (i.e. society could not exist without a military to protect it), not for the benefit of the individual soldier. Creating corporations that are both single-leader authoritarian and control more aspects of their employee's lives may not be how we want more of in our society. A lot of successful corporations seem relatively all-consuming for their employees (both small and big corps), so it seems like a subject without a solid path toward consensus.

Last I checked, universities weren’t busy papering the world in surveillance, pretending that’s a moral prerogative, refusing summons to the House of Commons, characterising whistleblowers with contempt, and then lying when they get caught acting unethically.

Eventually, you forget how much the conversation rate between fbucks and usd is, but dismiss any wierdness as a convenience fee, you're well paid right?

Next thing you know, you can't leave because there's no reasonable housing elsewhere in the city. And so on.

Edit: Even if it doesn't become even more dystopic for the worker, who now lives every moment inside the company and is alienated from their fellow humans, including increasingly the ability to think dissent thoughts (no where is safe even home) the company has succeeded in capturing back most of the money they paid to their workforce. It puts the lie to the notion that the presence of profits filters out to the rest of the city and increases inequality.

I opted out of the corporate dorm eventually, and so did a handful of others, especially the ones who were from the local area. But it definitely made life simpler for me to transition to a new job and living environment.

I imagine doing such is in the long term cheaper than the amount currently spent on hotel services for the above population. But yes, long term on campus housing is a bit weird in this day and age (but many rural communities were built by companies needing to house their employees near the factor).
