I thought that the original point was that computer workers were, basically, asked to work on hardship schedules without extra pay, and under constant threat of being downsized or outsourced. These people are computer professionals who have put in quite a lot of effort to get trained for what they do, usually at their own expense. Instead, they're being ripped off to pile up surplus value in the bank accounts of their corporate employers.
This is what happens when spreadsheet jockeys get control of the corporation. They don't understand the product and they don't understand what is required to survive past the current quarter. All they know is that firing 10,000 employees next week will get then a $1,000,000 bonus.
