But when has a large company like Meta cared about its employees?

You pretty much nailed it. A company like Meta would never fail to maximize their profit, even if the result is detrimental to employees and/or users. Facebook is demonstrably detrimental to society in general, yet they don't care - gotta profit more and more for the stockholders, consequences be damned.
