[_benedict]

I think the problem is that exploit can mean multiple things, and it’s obviously true that companies want to exploit everything in the non-pejorative sense.

The problem is transforming the word’s meaning in the next sentence to imply they use the resource/personnel unfairly, which is demonstrably untrue as you point out (though it’s certainly the case that for some companies both meanings apply)

This is a good insight, thanks for adding it!
