Companies used to be at the mercy of workers, we no longer are. The moment employees get out of line, work starts to shift to H1B workers who are too afraid to complain. If they start complaining, work then shifts to offshore resources. You can pay 1/3 of the wage and have 2 offshore workers and have contingencies.
The onshore workers see this and fall into line, especially H1Bs.
Work is sufficiently granular and microservice-ififed that you can swap people in and out. The vice keeps tightening.
