I can actually see this working for some people who have been heavily indoctrinated their entire adult professional careers. For instance, some people who join the military.

As a result it’s easier to lure you with supposed perks that make up for the mistreatment. .
I would hope it doesn’t work for the majority, but I’m not gonna lie, the number of people working in the service industry suggests that my hope is misplaced.
