a small company that will not exploit them and that will protect them.

Cute that you believe this

Small companies vary widely in their morals. The best ones might indeed protect and teach, rather than exploit, a young worker. The worst ones . . . are worse than any large company, and you can’t always tell from outside which type you’ve got. And family companies can be just as bad as any other small company, alas.

I am sure some employees of mega corps also happy with their treatment too

The point being is that it is an exception to the general savagery of “legal persons”

It’s got to be stressful to be so cynical. I’m sorry.

Remember that this was YOUR family’s company. Family businesses writ large definitely don’t have a good reputation as far as their non-relative workers are concerned. At least with a megacorporation you can expect some guardrails that will limit their abuses.

i would not expect that tbh but yeah megacorps are serious about managing their liability, they will generally avoid crime unless they can get away with it.

most small biz owners are too stupid to understand liability so they just do as they please which is generally either a crime or breach of various civil laws and regulations.

Like the mega corporations that have children cleaning equipment at night in abattoirs?
