It sounds like the Facebook execs agree with you, and through this leak are finding out why they’re wrong. You are right that companies exist to maximize profit at the cost of everything good, but they still rely on employees to get anything done, and employees will only take so much before they take matters into their own hands. A company that expects its employees to act like robots that will do anything the company wants in search of greater profits will find out they are wrong when they push the limits too far.

Well, company might listen to employees requests and treat them well. That would be the reasonable thing to do (at least to be able to pay less; but also because employees might produce important feedback).

However, if company doesn't do that 100% of time, employees do not have moral or lawful rights to sabotage company.
