Why you should never use Upwork, ever

What's stranger is that to those pursuing the sort of harassment Shadi describes often don't see it as immoral or unethical. Reminds me of office politics.

It's an amoral game of which the players tacitly approve. A bit like two boxers may suspend their belief that "one should not beat another human into a coma for fun", because it's a boxing match.

Except a lot of people don't realise they are in someone's game, don't agree with the rules and definitely do not tacitly approve...
