To piggyback on your point, some people like to be exploited, and I met so many hard working people who never realized the value of their work and how important

  The desire for meaning through their work is used against a worker. https://www.fuqua.duke.edu/duke-fuqua-insights/kay-passion-exploitation https://www.fuqua.duke.edu/duke-fuqua-insights/kay-passion-e... > The researchers found that people consider it more legitimate to make passionate employees leave family to work on a weekend, work unpaid, and handle unrelated tasks that were not in the job description. > The team found passion exploitation consistently across eight studies with more than 2,400 total participants. The studies varied in design, in the participants (students, managers, random online samples) and in the kinds of jobs they considered. > In one study, participants who read that an artist was strongly passionate about his job said it was more legitimate for the boss to exploit the artist than those who read the artist wasn’t as passionate. This finding extended to asking for work far beyond the job description, including leaving a day at the park with family and cleaning the office bathroom.
