I'm a co-owner of a company so you can imagine I wouldn't. I don't know what I'd do if I discovered something like this was going on to be honest, I'd be really disappointed that people apparently felt that working here was that bad and they couldn't change it except effectively by force.
I don't expect it would happen at my company or at others as the job market for software developers in London is excellent; typically if people don't like the work they just leave.
