Sure, that's an option, but then the next person will still have to deal with it. And you can do that but while making arrangements why not make some noise about it too? Maybe things will change, maybe they won't, but if you're already one foot out the door, "what can they do, fire me?"

Because when this happens en masse, they won't have enough "next person" to get work done, so they raise wages. That's how a market works (see: low wage jobs in the US now).

With that logic, why have any worker protections at all?

The market will always sort it out!

So they start giving out meaningless gewgaws to get people to apply ("free iPhone 12 Pro Max on hiring!") instead of actually paying living wages and benefits

how long does one need to work there before being fully vested and not required to give the phone back? 1 week? 1 month? 1 year? 2 years (like a phone contract)?

I might go work for burger king for a day for a new phone as long as I got to keep it after that day. Any longer than that would be a nope.
