That's the thing, these companies don't think of employees as humans, instead, they are just mere numbers and equipment for them. So that's why they are listing it upfront. A person might think of it as a job, they think of that person as a temporary equipment rent... see more

It's concerning to see companies still prioritizing work over employee well-being. I think the government should intervene to protect the rights of the corporate workers its high time now.
