Krusty I think you misunderstood his use of the word compliant.
com·pli·ant /kəmˈplaɪənt/ Show Spelled[kuhm-plahy-uhnt]
adjective
1. complying; obeying, obliging, or yielding, especially in a submissive way: a man with a compliant nature.
2. manufactured or produced in accordance with a specified body of rules (usually used in combination): Energy Star-compliant computers.
I believe that what MACH may have meant is that they are obliging, yielding, submissive perhaps grateful of the job and so easily manipulated. When you are indentured to an employer for many years and vast sums of money it creates a situation where you are likely to do as you are told.
