We do it in the medical and legal field under the guise of “experience” and “career development”. Is it different because it’s blue collar hourly work and not used as a foundation for a lucrative career.

I think it should stop in all places but we seem to disregard shitty work arrangements for the few prestigious and financially lucrative careers and cry wolf for those hourly souls.

Why is that?

Abuse is OK because it's universal? Come on.

This is the only appropriate answer across the board.

...this seems to ignore the huge amount of scrutiny these kinds of practices are getting in the medical field.

Are you saying it's not fair that people who get paid less get more sympathy?

I’m saying we focus on populations because of a common theme but some problems transcend those categorical boundaries.

Should delegate the same hours of jail time to those managers.
