I don't think I ever had a job where I was not taken advantage of. At my first real job, in 1961 before there was any protection,, I was fired because I wouldn't fuck the boss. At my last job, for IBM, I was required to work more than 60 hours a week and was treated so badly that various employees at the vendor site my IBM team was working at tried to report the abuse. Nothing was done by IBM to stop it. Indeed, those of us trapped in jobs with IBM understood that the treatment was an IBM policy. So, I do understand.
