I don't follow. Corporations have a fiduciary duty to be terrible to employees?



Not directly, only by proxy. Profit is king.

At Amazon scales, you weigh in how much money you'll save by breaking laws and eventually getting a slap on the wrist fine versus all other alternatives. Unsurprisingly it's often much cheaper to be terrible to your employees and replace them endlessly, than it is to not be terrible. Especially once you make unionization nigh impossible.


Yep. You understand it.


If thats where the uncaptured profit is, then yes.
