I don't see how UBI is a solution for that problem. That problem may be perpetuated by your unwillingness no quit, which may be tied to your income level, but UBI doesn't affect your unwillingness to search for alternatives or even prepare to quit. Bad employers are enabled by tolerant employees. Establishing a side-income scheme does nothing to address how employees are willing to be mistreated.

"Tolerant" employees often don't have a choice if there is more demand than supply for jobs in a market. UBI removes some of the coercive power the employer has, since employees aren't forced to choose between their job and food/a place to live/etc.
