While the topic interests me greatly I think the article falls in a trap. One I found myself in for a number of years: getting lost in details.
Given a certain situation where a company is acting in what you perceive as being a non ethical way there is absolutely zero chance of you finding out the causes, never mind solutions. Even for a "small" 400 people company there are so many variables, interconnections, processes, etc, that a human mind cannot create a reasonable working model and then debug it even if all the cards are on the table facing up. Which they are not.
Instead what I think works is looking at the big picture: do you agree with the end result? Is the service/product of decent quality, are customers happy, are they being taken advantage of, are workers ok, etc. If not, the same beast will eat you too and any thought of changing it is pure fantasy.
This way of thinking too has obvious problems. If you apply it to government departments for example you would quickly leave only the cynics there making it worse. In some cases you have to work from within. But in many cases draining the brains from a tech company will kill it fast enough.
But an even deeper problem seems to me that modern people are quire amoral. They keep buying/using service/product or work for a company if it benefits them financially while complaining in small talk discussions.
