oh, yeah, the "indebted worker" concept there sounds scary and bad and not what I'm looking for.

I think a lot of companies like to appeal to the idea of a meritocracy. I'm just saying this could make it a convincing appeal.

I think "appeal to" is the operative term, without necessarily much substance behind it.

I mean, that's why I'm trying to find the performative case they could make that they actually do it, that also results in them doing it.
