Yes this is true. Employers have so much leverage in this labor market, and nobody ever got promoted in a large corporation for promoting workers' rights.

The only solution seems to be:

1. Universal Basic Income - ie. giving people the freedom to say no to sh*tty jobs rather than being forced to take the least bad offer

2. Make a law that gives employees the right to work remotely if their job can reasonably be done remotely
