Frankly, many people do work at places where people are trying to look out for each other as humans and for a long, long time that was in fact the norm -- especially in white collar work.

Faceless, sterile companies with no investment in their employee's humanity were the domain of grim jobs in industrial manufacturing, resource extraction, and some agriculture.

It's true, but also troubling, that this dehumanizing view of labor has now also taken root in most of the largest white collar companies and among many of the smaller companies that compulsively emulate them, but we really don't help anybody by normalizing that without criticism because it's a very bad thing for society.

Basically: you're not wrong for what that kind of job is like today, and that's exactly what they're bringing attention to with that statement.
