This is a different outlook on the situation, but I disagree:

The key difference is that companies don’t need to be at the top to survive but willingly choose to be the biggest slaver in town for profit. Their choice to do this is what puts pressure on everyone because they are being exploited and still have to meet their bodily demands that they absolutely require to survive.

Calling companies equal slaves to the system is disingenuous, they have the privilege of not being a living entity.
