My perspective is radically different than yours. I must have hit a nerve.
The are companies formed by 1+ manipulators out there that will exploit developers. There are abusive publishers who help fund or start companies who work their employees to death. There are many firms that work with 2+ publishers who lie about what the devs do. It's what happens

...and you have seen some posts agreeing with me and you would find more if you look. That’s what I am saying. YMMV and there are no general categories! But hey, if you want to take your anecdotes and codify them into laws, it’s your prerogative. And I would still “100% disagree”

My biggest peeve
@richgel999 is that you really aren't doing anything to prevent someone from making the "mistake" of working at one of these companies in the first place. You tweet and blog a lot with winks and nods to who these companies are but rarely, if ever, name them. -
You're doing what you need to do to protect yourself, not make enemies, not make news etc, but what you're doing isn't really helping anyone IMO. You don't give these companies (or their employees!) a chance to defend the culture they have now vs what you think they had years ago
-
You assume all of these companies still exist to defend themselves. Many abused their employees, lied to them, exploited them through lots of crunching, and then went under leaving their employees high and dry. In many cases the founders go and do it all over again.

Most (all?) of the resistance to these basic concepts comes from highly privileged, highly paid corporate tech company employees. I suspect you are too far in the trees to see the forest here.

Yeah I live with my head up in my (diamond encrusted) ass.
