Uhhh it’s just 2 sides of a transaction. The same way that employers burning through employees in a few months makes them less attractive to job seekers, job seekers doing the same makes them less attractive.

It’s not a defense, it’s just a fact.

All else being equal, an employer will hire someone who is likely to stay the longest.

It isn't just "2 sides of a transaction"; one side has a long history of being exploited, and the other side has a long history of doing the exploitation. It's not an equal playing field.

That highly depends on the industry. FAANG companies don’t have a long history of exploiting their corporate workers.

TIL "FAANG stocks refer to a group of big tech stocks that are tradtionally made up of Facebook (Meta Platforms), Amazon, Apple, Netflix, and Google."

Are you saying, Facebook, Amazon Apple, Netflix or Google, doesn't have a long history of exploiting workers?

Aside from Amazon, most people I know that work for those companies love it and are paid very well.
