It's not dark (more appropriately, it's not false), it's just overstatement. Most employees just want a paycheck, and most employers want to maximize profit at whatever cost. We all live in the world in which this happens. Not all of us, thankfully, are employed in that part of the world; that does not mean, though, that it does not exist. I'm glad you're not part of it; I'm not, either, but only because I left and made my own way. It wasn't easy, and still isn't, but it was and is worth it. It's easy to dismiss doom and gloom because it's not everywhere. But the GP's experience is perfectly real.
