Is it maybe a sign that the system is fucked up when you have to go out of your way to emphasize “legal and ethical”? Implicit in that statement is the fact that there is an incentive to do things that are illegal and unethical in pursuit of that goal.<p>Also it’s disingenuous to say that an owner benefits from treating their employees well; an owner benefits from treating their employees as poorly as they can without impacting their productivity.<p>Actually this owner person sounds like a parasite on the rest of the business, why not just make the employees into the owners?
