Chris is correct to the to the point of many companies do treat their employees bad, especially the larger ones. But I want to point out that safety is the biggest issue for me and should be for airlines. If they can't be safe and make a profit then THE AIRLINE NEEDS TO GO OUT OF BUSINESS. Pilots asleep at the wheel, or having some sort of technical issue is an ISSUE that should be addressed. Gate agents that are tired is a safety issue. Any problems that come from passengers, cargo, fuel, and weight fall back on the that person. The pilot only triple checks the weights that are given. The pilot does not count the bags or judge the mentality of a passenger upon check in. The gate agent is responsible for those numbers. Working 30 hours over time is hard at any job but at an airline that is dangerous.
