A lot of people seem to have an inbred, genetic, knee-jerk "respect" for hierarchy, ostensibly known as "authority". But -nothing- was ever handed to the masses - protest is always necessary to redress imbalances due to those in power unfairly taking advantage whenever they can. "They" always have and probably will always do so, due to fundamental principles in human psychology. Yes, the writer was petulant and could be doing some things to improve her situation, but the basic fact of Yelp being badly managed and wasteful is still valid. SF is as expensive as London, and not as nice to live in. $25k a year before taxes? In the Bay Area? Yikes. But employee churn is sometimes more profitable than trying to retain good employees, especially for low level jobs like CSRs. The attitude of CEOs etc is essentially that employees are just another resource to be exploited, and "free food" etc is a smokescreen to cover up this fact. This is Capitalism 101 (run amok) and you can easily see it throughout history. Americans seem to be slowly redeveloping a sense of 'class consciousness' of the type back in the late 1800s to early 1900s, due to the growing levels of inequality and the resulting 'bad behavior' of so many at the upper end of the income range. This is a good thing, really, and accounts in part for Bernie Sanders' surprising ... "competitiveness" in the presidential race. People are starting to get fed up and so I think the Internet will see more and more of these over time.
