Oh but you forgot the insanely awesome benefit of being able to quit for any reason at any time, as if that wasn’t already your unalienable right as a human being!
Yeah it’s really unfortunate and messed up that that is literally the only recourse the workers have. And usually it’s out of the frying pan right into the fire because all companies fucking suck. Corporate culture is so toxic.
Yeah first time I heard this nonsense was with my current job at the new-hire interview. I live in an "at-will’ state. The HR lady was like “we can fire you at any time for any reason, but the plus side of that is you can quit at any time for any reason.”
Uhh… the “plus side” is something everyone can do anyways. If you don’t want to work somewhere you stop working there. They can’t force you to get out of bed, drive in, and dedicate 8 hours of your life. That’s not a “plus side.” It’s reality.

You gotta be about that grind! /s
You have the right to work or starve to death if you want!
With new capitalism plus subscription, you can also pick who your Master is!
That’s called the invisible hand of the free will.
“You can quit anytime!”
What sane people hear: “This is the most basic, barebones aspect of no longer living in a feudal society, or at least trying not to.”
What market fetishists hear: “This is the peak of workers’ rights, and they should be grateful for being allowed such a privilege!”

The plus side is that instead of being a literal slave, you get to be a wage slave instead
