The option given was between lowering wages, or firing a third of the workers.

If those are truly your only options, I would hardly call you a capitalist tyrant for lowering wages. However, I imagine that in most cases, these are not the only options.

For me personally, this article seemed to play on the fact that external viewers to the game (e.g. readers like me) will naturally feel that there are other, more humane options. Forgetting about the rigid constraints of the game - since they did not play it themselves.

(I'm not sure if the above makes sense, I've never been to good at explaining myself)

"All hiring managers and applicants on our platform are vetted by tech professionals..."

When the profiles are being vetted, have the already been vetted?
