I didn’t read it as a strong defense of the CEO. I also agree that labor needs to have appropriate self-worth and eschew being exploited. This causes many problems in many industries, such as downwards pressure on wages and labor negotiating power. For example, Reddit mods have recently had their negotiating power checked in the blackout protests. Exploitation, when it’s so voluntary, is definitely a dance that takes two. Both parties are responsible for the situation that arose. The abused party, of course, we can sympathize more with. But they could always have chosen and even today they can choose to not engage anymore.
