    Playing a montage of your family members when you’re about to have a breakdown sounds like a threat. “Look at your loved ones, call center employee #253684. It would be a shame if something bad happened to them if you don’t finish your shift.”

      It sort of is a threat when workers suddenly walking out on their jobs has an immediate material effect on the rest of the family. It’s partly “think of how this will affect your family”.

      If it successfully gets people to stay in jobs that they hate then it will slowly cause contempt for those family members.
