This should be illegal, outright.
Monetary systems and their economies are innately dystopian, and that can't be changed, but given that I'm a reluctant capitalist. Simply because the other option is much worse and incomparably more dishonest. But if private industry wants to remain relatively unrestricted it has to operate in good faith. Which means not pushing the envelope toward de facto slavery conditions, as is its nature to do. It needs self-control. If industry can't control itself, it's making the case for being hyper-regulated. And then its down-hill from there.
Industry and labor are in an inescapable social contract, the balance of which determines wider society's quality of life. Both factions have to commit to the middle, relatively speaking.
In part, that means that the job market standard doesn't evolve to six days of double shifts. Hire a second shift, and retreat from the type of psychopathy that advanced society wisely left behind.

If collaborating that way continues to become intractable forward looking, creative people (the kind you need to write good software) will find other ways to collaborate.
