Wow. This place sounds more toxic than extremist politics. If I go to an interview and see this on the walls, I will point to it, say [loud enough for all to hear, but without yelling] "this view is exploitative, toxic, and unacceptably offensive, and I won't work here", turn around, and walk off.

The problem is that's great for them you are not what they want. I started seeing these as like with spelling mistakes in scam emails they act as a filter for people that are not desperate or people that have enough self respect to not put up with it. That way they get the people they want that they can exploit to hell and back.

I agree. But that's why I say it loud enough for other employees to hear. It plants a seed. Maybe it'll grow, maybe it won't. But if it does, it'll be fruitful in that (soon to be former) employee, and maybe fruitful enough to cause an exodus.
