PMC employees are also not immune to being exploited, especially at junior levels. Not unheard of for junior lawyers, bankers, consultants, etc to have heart attacks or literally drop dead from overwork.
I'm not trying to draw an equivalence since blue collar workers are exploited in more physically harmful ways and don't have the eventual benefits of high wages. However, while fatcat PMCs who do nothing all day certainly exist, for each one of them there are dozens or hundreds of junior workers killing themselves to climb the ladder.
