Whoa that’s a lot of assumptions. This post was made in a light-hearted spirit, but since you want to deconstruct it, here’s an anecdotal story from my own life:
I used to read a lot as a kid. In my school you had to check out books from the library. If you didn’t turn the books in by the end of the semester you had to pay for them.
At the end of one semester I was informed that I would have to pay for a book that I was sure I returned-- like 100% sure. I checked out and returned books all the time and was pretty diligent about it.
That night I told my mom what happened and I was crying while doing so. She asked me if I was sure that I turned the book in and I really was sure. The next morning my mom went up to the school, with me in tow, and made a fuss about it. The charges were dropped.
Moral of the story, just because someone is overworked and underpaid doesn’t mean they are in the right or a saint. It’s a nuanced position but I saw it for myself at a young age.
