You miss the point completely.
Let's say you take a photo and paste it on the internet. It is then used (without your permission) in a global ad campaign.
Your ability to sue is zero. All the user has to do is show that you don't have standing.
Your employer doesn't care. They'll happily ignore the violation. They're not interested in defending some random photo.
Incidentally if you posted the photo to somewhere like Facebook, the user can buy the license to use it from Facebook instead of from you, but that's another discussion for another day.
