I'm not even mad at the employers to be fair. The problem is that so many jobs are just busy-work that exists because as a society we can't imagine decoupling labour from subjugation.
Cool, that wasn't this.
They used company computers to do another companies work. That's theft. Just like you want to comment on wage theft and the like, this is employee theft. Now, if you want to argue that it's justified, that's one thing. But don't reframe this as "well they were just doing nothing anyways". No, they used computers and resources that explicitly weren't theirs for their own benefit. Sounds A LOT like the wage theft you want to complain about when it's an employer doing it, but suddenly it's ok when the tables are turned. Nah, it's still an immoral act.
