> In what other contexts do we respect an employee's "hesitancy"?
When enough people quit, employee hesitancy matters. When remote work isn't allowed and people quit, remote work is suddenly allowed. When employers hinge on old tech that doesn't net any recruits, they invest in new tech. And when employees don't want to be paid in USD, they will be paid in whatever the prevailing currency is at the time.

This works if your job involves building websites and not healing sick people. If everyone at your local hospital went on strike, do we just let everyone there die because nobody wants to take care of them? Staff are stretched thin already, the system is already nearing collapse, having people quit at this point would further complicate the problem.
