Yes, by and large, it IS the employers to blame. It's a tight job market.
People are desperate for jobs. An employer has an available position, knows
there are a BUNCH of very qualified candidates for the position who are
desperate enough to work for an insulting salary and few benefits. Said
candidates have these nasty addictions to support: clothing, food, shelter,
children.... so they take the job at the lousy salary and bad bennies.

Eventually the market gets better, salaries go up, at least to better than
what the exploited - and thoroughly resentful employee is getting, exploited
and resentful employee finds a better job and leaves. Yes, it IS the money,
Stupid.

Employers tend to demand loyalty, but God forbid they should extend any of
it to the people working for them.

Sadly, "long haulers," both employers and employees, seem hard to come by
these days, and IMO it's mostly employers that are to blame for that.
