That's the class warfare paradigm that boils the world down to two monolithic blocs: employers and employees. He is not a widget. A workforce is made up people with diverse and varying skills. It's in the interest of society to incentivise individual skills development and promotion of people with more skill into positions of greater authority and responsibility, by allowing employers to base compensation and promotion offers on skills.

It's a market. I don't care about society, I care about delivering cash to my shareholders. All business is about repeatable process. Domain experts build a process. The operations people execute. Lather, rinse, repeat. People are nurtured/developed/promoted because it is cheaper to do that than to go back to the market. But, every single individual is expendable and replacable. There may be pain or cost associated with someone leaving, but a viable business will survive. If you think you are essential to your employer, film a little video explaining why, post or save it somewhere and set a calendar entry to visit it again in 5 years. You'll have a good laugh in 5 years.
