Employees, especially ones as well leveraged and overpaid as software engineers, are not victims. They can leave. They _should_ leave. Great engineers are still able to bet better paying jobs all the time.

I know a lot of people who tried playing this game frequently during COVID, then found themselves stuck in a bad place when the 0% money ran out and companies weren’t eager in hiring someone whose resume had a dozen jobs in the past 6 years.
You obviously haven't gone job hunting in 2026
I hope you get the privilege soon
Employees are not victims. Sounds like a universal principle.
