The same vicious "incentives" will be in play, but they'll be communicated in strange and plausibly-deniable ways. A man will no longer say that you have to do X or else you'll be fired; instead a woman will encourage you to be "mindful" of the company values, in particular this one over here, which is a double-entendre, one meaning of which is "be a nice person", and the other meaning of which is "make me a profit, bitch". And then, with your head in a vice of massive neoliberal pressure, if you ever fail to "perform", you'll be left on the street, with a complimentary yoga app to help you manage the stress.
If you continue to complain after that, it will be because you have an ego disorder -- those damned narcissists, always throwing tantrums -- and you'll be paired with a confessor and medicated to within an inch of your sanity. This will be called "care".
