I disagree, but then I had the luxury to avoid any kind of dirty business or con art (don't know where call centers fall, maybe in both - avoided that as well). There were times, though, when I just flat refused to do some things... which someone offered or ordered. But that's the point: I don't think the programmers are as much complicit in this squeeze (unless they begin to enjoy the power and money more than programming itself) as those who tell them what to do.
