To be clear, I 200% agree with you (if there is such a thing), but it is still a normal state of affairs in multiple fields. I never personally lived it, but a few people close to me worked in healthcare and that kind of "brings you to tear" workplace abuse is downright common. Demeaning comments and forced overtime are a weekly if not daily occurrence.

Should they accept it? I guess not, but once it's normalized they partake as well and it doesn't change.
