There's a reason that SpaceX and other companies pay far more than minimum wage. It's because otherwise the employees won't take the job.

I.e. the idea that employees is powerless is not true by inspection.

People also can always start their own companies, being an employee is hardly the only option. (People who start their own companies also quickly realize that their imagined power over other people is entirely nonexistent.)
