I think the problem is many employers focus on a one way, top-down relationship where the company has the power and the company/bosses word is all that matters.

I think the problem is many employers focus on a one way, top-down relationship where the company has the power and the company/bosses word is all that matters. Instead it should be a conversation around the two way relationship where both sides at least have the power to exit the relationship. Both sides should approach it as a conversation about the relationship and things that work / don't work from both sides.
