That marketplace economics theory of yours might work well in a Disney cartoon, but this is the real world.

In the real world a person sends out "X" number of resumes while looking for work. It's rare to get to competing job offers at same time, so when an reasonable job offer comes in, most people will take the job offer. Personal economics (of having rent/mortgage, bills, food, expenses) means the rumour warning of this being a bad boss (or company) to work for falls of deaf ears. Folks cannot afford to pass up paying jobs because boss is bad. Folks figure they can/will put up with the bullshit as long as bills are getting paid.

In theories of marketplace economics it is purposed that companies offering inferior products/services should wither up and die. Fact is shitty companies often survive despite being overpriced crapola. And superior quality companies often go the way of the dinosaur.
